Brooklyn Half Training Plan plus @FlipBelt Giveaway

by Toni Church on March 4, 2013

Happy Monday all!!!

I spent Sunday afternoon creating my Brooklyn 1/2 Marathon training plan. I have a little over 10 weeks and basically my goal is to finish, uninjured. The plan I am going to follow is completely a beginner plan. No speedwork, no tempo runs, just plain old running. I have also interspersed cross training, strength training and stretching into the plan.

I haven’t run a half-marathon since the Virginia Beach Rock’n'Roll Half in 2011 and I am ready!!!!! I am not going to stress myself out with a set time goal, but with that being said, I would like to run it in under 2 hours and 15 minutes.

I am really looking forward to training for this race!!! Here is my training plan:

To kick off my training I have a great giveaway courtesy of FlipBelt!!!!

Check out my full review here.

Wish the event wasn’t sold out… I would have LOVED to run it!

Toni Church March 5, 2013 at 8:33 PM: I missed it last year for the same reason so I knew we had to register early. Just remember that for next year and you will get in!!

I’d probably go with the plain ol’ black, or even go with the Limited Edition orange if possible. That would match my Mizunos!

I love purple- and anything that helps me hold onto my stuff while I’m walking is awesome!

Deb E. March 5, 2013 at 1:36 PM

I usually go with the color that matches everything–yep, boring black. The yellow just hit me and think it would match up with most things. Love these!

Paulin March 5, 2013 at 11:30 PM

I would love to get this belt in black. It will match all of my workout clothes and hopefully help my waist look slimmer too

Toni–Looks like you are playing it conservatively, which means smartly! I’m glad. I’m sure you’ll enjoy just being out there and getting to toe the line again after this past year.
