The last long run of any marathon or half marathon training season is never easy. Whether doing a 20 miler with hills, 11 tough miles, or the 22 mile ‘monster’ run, the final long distance run or walk is always challenging. Hopefully, this past Saturday’s training session, was comparatively easier than the Run Columbus Run workout (beat down) a fortnight ago. With two more weeks of training under your belts, lower temperatures, less humidity, and fewer people biking and running on the trail, we trust that you had better results and feel more prepared for your goal races. For the next couple of weeks you get to say to your family fun things, such as “I only have to run 12 miles this Saturday” or “Beginning in a couple of weeks I get to eat even more food than I have already been eating for the last 3 months.” Of course the tough part about the next two weeks is: How to be patient and taper appropriately in order to get to the starting line. To help you adapt, below you'll find a new article from Fit For Life Physical Therapy’s Joe Simko and Dana Brown. With one of the most recognizable names in Columbus sports physical therapy, Joe has been an avid runner since 1978. He has completed 20+ marathons, qualified for the Boston Marathon 14 consecutive years, and has a marathon PR of 2:45. What he and Dana have to say about taper pains will help you get ready for mid-October’s races. Fit For Life Physical Therapy is proud to be Fleet Feet + FrontRunner’s physical therapy partner. We will keep you moving – no matter what you do. Contact Fit For Life Physical Therapy at (614) 981-1979 or www.fitforlifephysicaltherapy.com with your injury prevention, maintenance, or rehabilitation needs!

Seaside Schools Half Marathon and 5K Run registration is open and the spots are filling fast. The Watercolor Inn has a discount for you and rooms are getting booked just as quickly. Now is the time to check your calendars and see if you’re going to join our spring destination race trip to sunny Florida. Take a look at runseasidefl.com to learn more about the weekend (March 1, 2,& 3, 2019) of events on the gulf coast’s white sands of Highway 30-A between Panama City and Fort Walton Beach, Florida. - Let’s say you’re adding a holiday fitness plan or a New Year’s resolution; then a 20 week training program leading up to the Seaside Half Marathon or 5K Run could be just the ticket to help move you towards your goal.
- What if you just want to get out of Ohio during that cold, dreary, grey time of winter and enjoy a long weekend in the sun? Seaside’s VIP hospitality will inspire you.
- How about that part of you that wants to fly through the Cap City Half Marathon or a spring full marathon? Then the timing of our Fit For Life Physical Therapy and Fleet Feet + FrontRunner destination race in Seaside is ideal. The Seaside races are a checkpoint-perfect 8 weeks before our Central Ohio goal race!
Need a bit more inspiration? - Well, there’s no pasta dinner at the local Italian restaurant...this dinner is hosted by local resident Emeril Lagasse.
- Remember that Jim Carrey movie, The Truman Show? It was filmed here.
- Every race finisher gets a medal designed by the school’s art teacher and 100% of the race profits go to the school
- All finishers get their choice of Vera Bradley bags and (not a bagel) shrimp & grits
- We’ve arranged for a 20% group discount at the St Joe’s WaterColor Inn. The race and the hotel will sell out fast, so please check your calendars soon
Fit For Life Physical Therapy and Fleet Feet + FrontRunner are going to add some more fun. Between now and October 15th, we will select 5 lucky Central Ohio “Fit For Life team” registrants to have their entire registration fee refunded, thus a free entry. We will draw our first free entry at the Fit For Life Physical Therapy Education Session on Tuesday October 16, 2018! So, when you register, the form asks if you are a member of a running club; please answer yes and type in Fit For Life (1000 members). If you have questions about the race, the discount on the nearby hotel, the 5 free spots offer, or anything else, please send a note to info@fitforlifephysicaltherapy.com FFL will also work with each of you on free injury screens, our usual robust runner & walker education programming, MIT’s online coaching advice & mileage plans for the half marathon or 5K, plus open Saturday runs through the winter. So, leave your gloves and coats behind. Grab some shorts and sunglasses and join Fit For Life Physical Therapy and Fleet Feet + Front Runner at the Seaside Schools Half Marathon and 5K Run in March 2019.
