Westside LA Team In Training - Winter 2009 Marathon & Half Marathon Team

Posts Tagged ‘links’

Last season was the first time the team experimented with a blog format. We brought in a lot of social media aspects such as Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. We also used a Facebook group, but we found it to be a limited to how we can communicate with the team. If you’re on Facebook, you should already understand the concept of becoming a Fan of a Page. It’s like becoming a fan of a celebrity, a brand, or a special event. It’s pretty much joining a group. They are pretty similar in feature set, but what is different is that there is a Wall in which users can write on, and Page interactions are viewed in the main feed. I’m currently trying to configure Twitter to update it as well.

Hope it’s not too confusing, but if you’re already on Facebook, become a fan of the page, and you’ll see the benefits of it. You don’t have to be an actual participant of the Winter Team. You can tell your friends and family too, so they can follow our adventures.

(note: there’s a “Share” button on the bottom left column of the Page, and you can spread the word that way.)

Become a Fan!

Why did you join Team in Training?

This is probably the most common question you will answer throughout the season to your teammates, family, friends, co-workers, and strangers. You will hear the answer from our honored teammates at our morning practices. You will hear the answer from our coaches. You will find these answers in our upcoming Featured Alumni section, as well as Team in Training Forums.

We found this topic in the Team in Training Community Forums. You will come across some really touching stories, so we strongly encourage that you check them out!

It’s another new season, and in the coming weeks we’ll feature some TNT Alumni for the next round of participants to learn from! The previous season was our first time trying it out, and had positive feedback. Not only do we feature from the Westside LA team, but we also feature others from different teams as well. As a new participant, I encourage you to read the archives and learn from others who already went through this life changing journey!

You can view Featured Alumni archives here.
