Here’s a short 5 minute clip that was on Fox 23 Maine this morning. John owns the Maine Running Company and offers many training programs, including 2 training programs for the Beach to Beacon. I am one of the 7 certified coaches that help train the runners for the race that John mentions in this segment, so if you got into the Beach to Beacon or are in the lottery (or even if you are training for another race this Summer) and live in Southern Maine you should stop in and run with us:
Good morning . . . I happily have a number for BtoB, and would LOVE some training advice. I live in NJ and can not join the weekly runs. Can you let me know what each mile is like, i.e., flat, uphill, type of surface . . . or could you let me know where I could obtain that kind of info. I’ve done sprint tri’s and this is my first 10K. I appreciate any and all advice . . .
my best, Peggy
Hi Peggy --
I’ve responded to your request for info about the course with a full video course preview, along with some of the tips and strategies that I offer the folks I coach about this course. I hope it’s helpful!
