Summer/Fall Half MarathonTraining Program: Sign-up and FAQ's

Training is easier (and more fun) with friends! 

With Fleet Feet’s Half Marathon Training Program, you’ll find a holistic training plan designed specifically to help you cross the finish line feeling empowered. 

Training for a race isn’t just about logging miles. It’s about learning to challenge yourself incrementally, tackling different types of runs, building strength and making space for rest and recovery. So join us for the store's most popular distance this fall, where you and your fellow runners will bond as you train, learn and improve together, with plenty of support along the way. 

Whether you're aiming to run your first half marathon or your 50th, training is always more fun when you have the opportunity to train with friends. Our in-person coaching staff are trained to keep you accountable, build up your mileage safely, and incorporate pacing strategies that will build towards your best race yet. This half marathon training program is specifically designed to get you across the finish line and through 13.1 smooth and injury-free miles - so no matter how far you are in your running journey, you can finish your race this November with a smile. This group will meet Tuesdays at 6:15pm and Saturdays at 8am every week, while additional days of cross-training and running are built into the schedule to help you achieve success both during guided and solo runs. And the best part? The training cycle is designed to seamlessly prep you for the Silver Strand Race Series on November 8th, 2026 - so not only can you train with friends, you can run your race with friends, too.
