Train with Strava

Simplest Training Plan
HOW TO GET READY
Step 1: Buy running shoes. Don’t overthink it. If they fit well and you can run comfortably in them, they’ll work. If you want more specific advice, visit a running store, like the Boulder Running Company.
Step 2: Run. The simplest plan is to just walk or jog 3x a week for 30 minutes. Start slow. Walk as much as you need to. Jog as much as you can. Take time to rest and recover.
Step 3: Be bold. Enjoy yourself. Have fun. You earned it. You make this the biggest and best Memorial Day celebration on earth. Revel in the moment and celebrate your accomplishment!
Train with a Group
There are also tons of running clubs to train with around Colorado. Check out our calendar to find one near you.
Set a personal goal that you can achieve. You don’t have to run at all or run the whole thing—unless that’s YOUR goal. You can always do better next year.
