Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco

Hello everyone,

Anybody running the San Francisco Nike Women's Marathon in October?  Or anybody participating in the Nike Run Club SF for the training?  I am training with the Nike Run Club SF every Saturday morning and in Danville every Sunday.  

It would cool to meet a fellow CC'ers in there.

I am training for the Nike Women's Half Marathon through Team in Training.  Pretty exciting!! Have you been training on the path the marathon is going to take?  I'm a little worried about the hills...

jamck23,

I've been training with the Nike Run Club SF every Saturday in San Francisco, it is sponsored by Nike itself.  Our run last week was 14 miles and we ran through on some part of the actual course especially the presidio hills.  This Saturday (8/15/09), my pace group are running 16 miles.  I've seen some TNT groups running in SF 3 weeks ago over by the Embarcadero when we ran 12 miles and the week before that as well.

If you're doing some hill training, even if it's not in San Francisco - you'll be fine.  Just make sure you get used to the hills so it won't be so hard anymore when you run the actual race.  Especially the hilly part of the race is in the beginning, you want to run that strong and still have the energy to run the rest of the course which is like at least 20 miles ;)

Stay strong!!!
