Many thanks to more than 400 people who actively started the 16-week preparation cycle for the Rimi Riga Marathon by participating in the first general training of the 2024 Rimi Riga Marathon season on January 28 – the first event in the newly opened Daugava Athletics Arena!
On Sunday morning we tried out the new Daugava Athletics Month with a bang, during which we actively moved under the guidance of the Nike Run Club trainers, ran intervals at different pace groups, met other runners and made friends with them!
Before the active and practical part of the training, Olympian and coach Ilona Marhele gave visitors practical advice on training plans and a healthy training process, while legendary long-distance runner, Latvian marathon record holder Jeļena Prokopčukas, shared her training and competition experiences at elite level. All visitors to the training had the opportunity to be the first in Latvia to get to know and see the newly launched Nike Alphafly 3 running shoe model.
Thank you to everyone who came and moved together! See you at the next training sessions in Mežapark (at the entrance to the zoo) at 10:00 a.m. from March 10th every week until the Rimi Riga Marathon weekend!
