The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon

[dolemitesooner]

Is anyone interested in doing a Relay this year. Team South Oval/Soonerfans?

I have been running a ton and have been looking forward to this event, but I don't think I can run half marathon by myself. I am currently running 3 miles a day/ 5 days a week and I could go longer, but I don't.

For you runners out there want would I need to be running now ( 46 days out ) to be able to complete a half marathon without dying or stopping.

On the another note they do have the Marathon Relay.

This is a 5 person relay


This 5-Person Relay follows the Eikeden format (see notes at bottom *)

1st Leg – 10km/6.2 miles
2nd Leg – 5km/3.1 miles
3rd Leg – 12km/7.6 miles
4th Leg – 5km/3.1 miles
5th Leg – 10km/6.2 miles

I know I could do any of the long legs. If I could get 4 more guys to also run.

I need solid comments tho because I really wanna do this.

So Dean, Jimminy, Boarder, Howzit....any of you guys wanna do this with me. Let me know.

We have 46 days.

If you are currently running 15 miles per week (3 miles X 5 days), you can do the half no problem. Just start running fewer days (3 or 4) and stretch your long run on the weekend gradually up to 12 miles (or close thereto). The Runner's World "Smart Coach" site should help your plan:

I could do a 5K leg. I'm not saying I could do it especially fast, but I could do it. Lemme know.

Yes I am running a ton. I am a finley tuned athletic machine now.
