How fast do I need to run to be able to complete this training program?   

• Groups are divided by pace and ability.  All groups will be lead by an experienced Group Leader who will help guide your training at a pace that is appropriate for you.

 When and for how long does the group meet to run?

• The training group meets for runs once a week.  The time it takes on the run will progressively increase through the program and depending on the mileage covered, it will vary from about 40 minutes to several hours in the later stages of the training.

 What if I cannot attend every week? What if it’s raining and cold?

• Attendance is encouraged every week, but not mandatory. As long as the weather is not hazardous, we will meet every week. The group atmosphere will definitely help you get out there on those cold or hot, rainy mornings. HINT: It’s hard to make excuses when there are others out there waiting for you!
