Big Event #2: Recovering From The Long Run - the next installment in our ING Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon Registration To Race Day Series.For a truly romantic Valentine’s Day treat, come on out to BPRC Kennesaw bright and early Saturday morning to learn some very valuable lessons on how to recover from those long miles you’re now running or walking. After all, ING race day is just 6+weeks away! Opening the program is Dr. Pam Stone from Stone Family Chiropractic Center. A marathoner and Ironman triathlete, Dr. Pam is eminently qualified to discuss some useful tools to get you feeling better faster. Also on hand will be Tony Adams of Georgia Sports Massage to discuss the benefits of massage therapy as it relates to those long miles. Tony is an avid runner with 10 marathons under his belt. Rounding out the program is Ilana Katz, Registered Dietcian/Sports Nutritionist and founder of Optimal Nutrition For Life. Ilana has been known to run a marathon and triathlon or 2 herself! Of course, if you’re not training for ING, and your long runs are more of the 5K or 10K variety, you will still find the information at this clinic very useful! Following the clinic will be the opportunity for a group run. Suggested mileage for half marathoners is 12, with 18 miles on the agenda for full marathoners. However, we will have maps available for shorter distances, so no need to feel pressure to go too far! Of course no BPRC event would be complete without the chance to win some cool stuff, such as a free race entry to the ING Georgia Half or Full Marathon. In addition, if you have not yet signed up, you can save $5.00 off the registration fee for the half, and $10.00 off the full. If you’re one of those folks who never ventures outside the perimeter, broaden your horizons Saturday morning and check out our fabulous Kennesaw location, the baby in Peachy’s family!
