13.1 Half Marathon

The finish line. It's a defining moment in the life of anyone who has crossed it.

If you are serious about training for and completing a half (13.1 mi) marathon, and you seek the camaraderie of like-minded, fun individuals, then join our training sessions, led by Ethan Falls, experienced endurance runner and Fleet Feet coach. Our Half Marathon training programs meet 2x per week and are designed to prepare seasoned runners for their first ever endurance event or to improve on past performance. 

In addition to detailed training plans, each program incorporates educational components, speakers, weekly email communication, expert coaching, mentoring, and pacing to help inspire and motivate you along the journey. Your coach will instruct you on proper running form, hydration, nutrition, best shoe strategy, the right gear and apparel, strength and cross training, and mileage/pace improvement.

This program is designed for intermediate level, regular runners, able to finish a 10k using 4:1 run/walk intervals or better. Adequate weekly training time on your own is needed to supplement the group workouts.
