2022 Detroit Marathon Training Has Begun!

Hi, this is Jamen writing. I wanted to quickly jump on here tonight to announce that my training for the 2022 Detroit Free Press Marathon is in progress. I am now in the second week of an 18-week training program.

I will be posting on my personal Instagram account at jamenspitzer as well as the Run4Ben Instagram page - You can follow along on both!

I have a few goals for this marathon:

  1. Run the marathon with a time of 4:23:00 or less (I’ll go into more detail on this in other posts and even have a video as to why I’ve selected this time - It involves a challenge from Kirk Gibson!)

  2. Get down to 200 pounds - I’ll also update you on this progress and go into more detail as to why.

  3. Raise money for The Kirk Gibson Foundation!

  4. Organize some group runs for Team23 - Team 23 are all the runners running for The Kirk Gibson Foundation.
