McKirdy Mile Race Series

McKirdy Trained is set to begin their #MCKIRDYMILE series this Saturday, May 2. And guess what? It’s flippin’ FREE! Several of our athletes have signed up, and are excited to see what kind of mile shape they’re in.

“In light of the recent global pandemic, runners have been facing race cancellations and adjustments of their spring goals. The #McKirdyMile Race Series is a virtual event designed to give runners a purposeful distance to train for and ‘race’ during this time. There are four 1-mile race events within the series spread out over the span of 8 weeks, starting in May 2020.

It’s a change of pace – literally. Many marathoners rarely take a step back from training for half marathons or full marathons which often leads to a plateau. If you feel like you’ve been ‘chipping’ away at your PRs, then taking some time to train for a shorter distance race is exactly what you need to find your next big breakthrough. It’s also a great way to see some progress and help keep you motivated, especially if you’re new to the sport, or returning to running after some time off. So let’s throw it back to the quintessential distance – let’s train for a mile!”
