4 X 4 X 48 Run
2024-03-23 03:00 - 2024-03-24 23:00
Brian is partnering with Tri-Cities FCA ( Fellowship of Christian Athletes) for a local fundraiser. He is going to participate in David Goggins 4x4x48 challenge where he will run 4 miles, every 4 hours for 48 hours. This is his 4th year doing this event and 3rd year partnering with FCA
I was wondering if 3 Rivers Road Runners would be interested in putting it on your calendar and/or posting about it over social media?
The idea is to get people in the community participating in one or more of the 12 different segments. Yes we are trying to raise funds but we are really trying to get people in the community to run, walk, or bike with Brian.

When: Friday March 22nd-Sunday March 24th(Every 4 hours)

Where: All 3 Cities! Check out the website for specific locations. The two midnight runs will be held at Richland High School Track and Kamiakin High School Track!

Why: To see our community be more active all while supporting Tri-Cities FCA! We have two fundraising goals this year.
1) To provide pizza during middle/high school huddles
2) To support the FCA Equip Fitness Gym scholarship fund

Format: Run, walk, or bike some or all segments. Brian will be running 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours.

Final Celebration: Join us for a Fun Run at the 12th Segment. Then food, and games at Bethel Church Gym on Sunday, March 24th 4pm.

We make wonderful friends.
We lose weight over the winter.
It doesn’t cost anything.
We learn how to complete a half marathon from nice experienced people. Nobody will yell at you. We guarantee it.

Our primary objective is to help beginning runners and walkers complete a half marathon in a safe nurturing environment. We welcome anyone. You don’t have to sign up for the race to join us. For those of you that are experienced we welcome you as well. We will make you faster.
“The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.”
John Bingham

The schedule is broken down into stages.

Weeks 1 thru 6. (Build lateral strength) We spend a lot of efforts on grass, gravel or dirt trails. Working out on uneven ground helps make those stabilizing muscles and tendons really strong. We will need those as we start increasing our mileage. Run slow and build strength to avoid injury. We encourage utilizing a run/walk methodology. Jeff Galloway has some nice tips on his web site. http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/half-marathon-training/
Week 7. (Recovery) These workouts are done at an easy relaxing pace.
Weeks 8 thru 12. (Build mileage) This is when we start increasing our weekly mileage from 15 to 23.
Week 13. (Recovery) Easy breezy nice and easy
Weeks 14 thru 19. (Build strength and speed) Monday workouts are hills and Thursday workouts are intervals. (go hard, then easy)
Weeks 20 and 21. (Taper) Reduce our mileage and get ready for race day!
