Spring Training

Run.Inspire.Overcome!

TIME CHANGE: The Saturday runs for the remainder of the spring season are now going to be at 8:30am. Please change this on your schedules!



We are excited to be adding an Advanced Training Program to our group this summer! Our goal is to help runners become more efficient. We will be meeting three times a week for our group runs and workouts.

The Advanced Training Program was designed by Dr. Owen Anderson, one of the foremost coaches and researchers in the field of running, in conjunction with USA FIT.

This program was designed specifically for those runners who want to qualify for Boston or simply want a more intense training schedule. The core training philosophy embodied in this schedule emphasizes quality over quantity, because research has shown this to be the most effective way to train. It is not recommended that runners add significantly more total miles than are on the schedule. However, runners must carry out the intensive parts of the schedule in order to compensate for a larger mileage base.

It is assumed that the "ATP" runner has been training regularly before they start the training. There are also specific exercises including a special warm up which will be performed each week. This is a strenuous schedule if done correctly and because of that, each participant must be aware of his/her body and how he/she is feeling.

This schedule will be used in conjunction with qualified coaching, and additional supplemental training materials. It is not recommended for the beginner runner.
