Training
Walking 60 miles is serious business! Therefore, I take my training for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure seriously. Each year I set out to begin training 24 to 28 weeks prior to my scheduled event. This means that I am training for 6-7 months each year!
There are a variety of training schedules out there. The 3-Day has a suggested training schedule and there is also one from a site called About.com. My team, the Warming Hut Hotties also have a training schedule that is loosely based on the About.com schedule. What I end up using is sort of a hybrid version.
On this page you will see my training progress. Come back weekly to see how I'm doing!
Training Resources
The 3-Day for the Cure offers lots of training resources covering topics from clothing to blisters to nutrition..just to name a few. It's good to be reminded that the 3-Day is an endurance event and taking it all serious is the smart way to go. Just check out Training for an Endurance Event. It gives a great overview. Here are just a few others:
