The Susan G. Komen 3‑Day^® is kicking off training season with a brand-new resource to help you prepare to dance your way through the finish line at the 3‑Day!

Thanks to the support of Amgen and working in partnership with American Bone Health we are excited to provide you with a special new series “Healthy Living: Preparing your Mind, Body and Bones for the 3‑Day!” It’s a series of emails, blogs and additional resources that will help prepare you for this life-changing event, as well as year-round health.

Whether you are walking or crewing for the first time or have been with us since the beginning, participating in the 3‑Day means making a significant commitment to preparing yourself for the amazing 3‑Day journey ahead. We want to ensure all our walkers and crew have the tools and information needed for the best experience possible.

The Healthy Living Series will provide helpful information on these topics to help you through your 3‑Day journey:

Training (yes, you should do it)—including tips about walking to reduce strain and protect your bones

Nutrition—How to fuel your body for the walk and beyond

How to maintain healthy bones and why it’s critical

Breast health—reminders of the importance of regular screening and “knowing your normal”

Exercises and stretching recommendations to keep your body strong outside of the walk

“Walk-life” balance

Straight Talk from the 3-Day Community "You're not going to be able to wake up one day and walk 20 miles again and again and again. I have come to realize that if you're going to commit and go the distance you must be in shape (mind, body and spirit.) Once these components are in alignment you'll move mountains." —Christine, 3-Day Coach

We will highlight tips and tricks from fellow walkers and crew, coaches, Komen staff and our partners at American Bone Health.

We are excited to share this resource with you. Be on the lookout for the next email coming soon!
