Athens Marathon 2010 Training - New to HK from NYC - Seeking Advice, Running Group, & New Friends!

Submitted by SurfStokedCy on 27. May 2010 - 7:21

Greetings HKRunners.com -

I am getting ready to start up training for my 1st marathon on Oct 31st, Athens Classic, after taking a finance certification exam on June 6th. I'm both excited and nervous about training for it & would welcome any advice from HK Runners users. I plan on following Hal Higdon's novice training program.

I'm pretty much new to running in HK, so I've only done my weekly runs on the treadmill. I would appreciate any feedback on running route recommendations & any running groups that I could join. I am job seeking at the moment, so my schedule is pretty open in terms of when the group meets to run. I'm currently staying in Tiu Keng Leng, but again, am flexible if I have to travel to HK Island or Kowloon for training.

Lastly, I hope to make some new friends as well through this experience! Thank you in advance and I look forward to your feedbacks.

Mh Goi!
