The Program

Spring Marathon Training Progam

This 15-week, coached program will get you ready to run a spring marathon! You will receive coaching at in-person group runs twice per week, a weekly email from your head coach with important training tips, and an online training schedule to follow for the duration of the program. Participants also receive access to our private Facebook group page with fellow runners and coaches to share tips, ask questions and motivate one another with encouragement and funny memes. 

The Goal

Without a target, you have nowhere to aim.

Our Distance Training Program is designed for runners looking to make the leap to longer distances, set a new personal record, stay in good physical shape, or cross-running a half marathon off their bucket list. Training will focus on gaining endurance, hill technique, hydration, nutrition, and pacing. Participants should be able to run at least three continuous miles prior to the start of training.

The Goal Race:

 When all else fails, a goal race with friends can motivate you to keep your training on pace.

The goal race for this program is the Pittsburgh Marathon. We will be teaming up with Brook's Running and Fleet Feet Pittsburgh to create a cool destination experience. More details to come!

We can accommodate for other marathons as well!! Maine Coast Marathon and Flying Pig are also that same weekends. Even if you are not planning on going to Pittsburgh you can still join our training program! Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions.
