Marathon Training For Dummies

You probably think that anyone who commits to run in a marathon is a big dummy!  That’s absolutely false.  Running in a marathon is such a great accomplishment.  The feeling you get when you cross the finish line is worth every bit of blood, sweat and tears that went into the training.  Not only can you cross something off of your bucket-list, but you can help raise money for The Scott Carter Foundation AND treat the family to a dream vacation all in one full swoop!

It’s my opinion that running a marathon is more mental than it is legs.  One of the key elements to ensuring success is adhering to a training schedule.  There are many variations of training guides available.  I’ve attached one that is specific to beginner runners.  Please note that it’s an 18 week schedule and we are just about 18 weeks out from the Disney Marathon so now is the time to get moving!

Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions.  Our registration is open and we can’t wait to see who will join us on this brand new venture.  The Carter family has a great few days planned.  Your entry fee includes:

3 nights for a family of 4 at the Polynesian Resort

a tour of Scott’s Sports Memorabilia Collection at Disney’s Wide World of Sports

pre-race Pasta Dinner

dinner with other SCF runners and families, to be hosted by the Carter family

discounted park tickets and so much more!
