princess run 2014!

[cosmolette]

Im looking for good training tips from anyone that has done the princess run or any half marathon. I am not a runner but I have always dreamt to be. I figured if im goning to start running, the princess run is perfect since everyone calls me princess and disney is the place that dreams come true lol. I did get the trainkng program from the site and I am following that. Another thing I am only training on the elliptical because the treadmill scares me! I have this vision of me flying off! Any tips? Is the elliptical training the same?

I think that it's great you are using the training program from the runDisney site which is great for first timers until you have acutally completed your first half marathon and fine tune your own training. I would also recommend using the run/walk method and suggest that you try to do a few local 5Ks just to see how your you are coming along. I would also recommned that you try some cross training in addition to your elliptical but I cannot stress the importance of acutally getting out and hitting the pavement even if you are doing short distances. Ellipticals are great but nothing is as good as actually run/walk on the pavement. Good luck.
