Get Your Folsom Blues Half Marathon Training On For Fun And Friendship

By Maria Allen


Many people dream of one day running in a marathon, but few actually do so. The biggest barrier to achieving this dream is often conditioning. It takes a great amount of cardiovascular endurance in order to participate in one, and some just don't have it. However, you can join a group for Folsom Blues Half Marathon Training in order to get into the right condition.

The Folsom Blues Half Marathon is in honor of the famous Johnny Cash song. It was started in 2012 and instantly became quite popular among those who like to run, jog or even walk. Since 2012, it has become something of an annual institution, with people coming from miles away to participate.

It begins on the Johnny Cash bridge, so fans of the late country singer often participate in his honor. It then goes for 13.1 miles, including around Lake Natoma, which is a rather scenic area that draws many watchers who cheer on the runners. The end of the line is in the Historic District of the city of Folsom. There, you get to enjoy a Johnny Cash tribute ban, along with a free beer for those who finished. Rockabilly tunes are played throughout the route for your enjoyment and to keep with the theme.

In order to join the fun, you should be in proper cardiovascular shape. It takes a lot to go 13.1 miles, though you are free to walk the course if you are worried that you cannot jog it. Of course, if you plan in advance, you can always join a group that will help you get into fighting shape.

There are groups for every level of fitness. From beginners who have low cardiovascular strength to those who jog regularly but would rather go faster, there is a group for everyone. Even walkers have a group, where you go from strolling to faster, more advanced paces. As your cardio conditioning improves, you can move from group to group.

Joining one of these groups is a big commitment in time, as each one lasts for several months. One starts in the summer and goes on through to the fall. If you would rather start in winter, that group goes into the spring. Either way, you will have several weeks to get better and faster.

Even after the marathon, most people keep going to the group sessions. Some are training for the next year, or perhaps for another marathon that is coming up. Some just want to keep feeling healthy and strong. You may also have made some really great friends, and want to keep seeing them each week while you jog.

There are many benefits beyond just getting into marathon shape when you join any groups. Some people make friends for life and become more confident when it comes to everyday challenges due to feeling and looking better. For many, these marathons become more of a practice rather than a hobby, and can change your life forever if you get into a group to prepare.
