Regular  62 |  Subject: Turkey TrotI'm new to all of this but so far in my training I can run a fairly consistent 3 mile distance. For full disclosure I have to admit that the running segment is the discipline that I have kept up with the least. Is it too agressive to think that I can pull off the 10k turkey trot on the 23rd? I don't want to injure myself when I'm just starting off down the tri path. |

Just have maybe a 3, 5, then 6 mile training run between now and then, and *presto*, you're trained. I wouldn't go toooo hard, unless your body agrees with it...just maintain a comfortable pace, walk if you need to, and you'll be a-o-k. |

Veteran 130 East Lansing, MI | Subject: RE: Turkey Trot Like he said, you can definitely do it! The Turkey Trot is a great 10K to start off with (besides the COLD) because the parade watchers are lined up, so there are a lot of people cheering people on. The only discouraging thing is that it is an out-and-back course, so when you feel like you've barely started, you can see the people who are almost finished. That's a little annoying! But I really love the Turkey Trot and do it every year. I am also glad to see they've added a 5K this year so more people can do it. |
