Embracing Fitness: Training for a Half Marathon

If you want to begin training for a marathon or half-marathon, Alysun Deckert, a marathon runner and clinical dietitian with University of Washington Medical Center, explains how to create your own sensible and injury-free exercise routine. Deckert is joined by members of Team Transplant, surgery survivors who are now running or walking in half marathons or marathons. The discussion includes warm-up techniques plus tips for running clothes and shoes. Transplant Services at UW Medical Center are a product of clinical, academic, and research activities of the divisions of transplantation and cardiothoracic surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
