 It's October 7, just over 8 weeks aways from the Inaugural Select Staffing Santa Barbara International Marathon and the Health and Fitness Relay Challenge! It's not too late to begin training for the Health and Fitness Relay Challenge. The relay is designed for 2-4 people. 31% of registrants are FIRST TIMERS! Meaning, NO experience required, just a desire to reach a goal and improve health and fitness! No more excuses, sign up today!
What you need to get started:
- 1-2 pairs of good running shoes...
(my advice is to go to Santa Barbara Running or Outfooters, bring in your SBParent.com perk, and get educated help in finding the right shoe for your foot AND receive 15% off). Not having properly fitting running shoes is one of the top reasons people get hurt running.
- Find a coach and/or group to run with...
(recommendations: Santa Barbara Running and Racing at sbrunrace@yahoo.com, Momentum 4 Life at dawn@momentum4life.com, Mom's in Motion at reneeharrington@hotmail.com, or Body Boot Camp of Santa Barbara at info@bootcampsb.com) to facilitate a proper injury free running program.
- Cross train...
Remember, your heart and lungs don't know the difference between running and any other crosstraining cardio work (such as Elliptical, stairmaster, rowing, swimming, cycling, treadmill etc...)
- If you run twice a week with crosstraining interspersed in your week, you will be fit enough to have a great time in the Inuagural Select Staffing SBI Marathon or Relay!
Email info@sbparent.com if you are interested in joining one of the several SBParent.com teams and run one leg (6-9 miles).
SBIM is also offering moms & dads a special training series for $30 month from Sept - Nov that gives you a personalized training and schedule 2 times a week >>
