Training Overview:
- Workouts will begin and end at 4RUN3 in East Longmeadow (unless winter road/sidewalk conditions cause us to move to a safer location - usually either Wilbraham or Forest Park). Long run routes also often extend into Longmeadow, Springfield, Wilbraham, Somers, and/or Enfield.
- Two “tracks” offered:
- the first option (Track 1) features an average amount of training volume and is good for all trainees, including first timers, those with a history of overuse injuries, and/or those just looking to finish.
- the second option (Track 2) has a higher amount of training volume and is good for uninjured runners looking to improve upon previous full or half marathon times.
- we can help you decide which track is right for you!
- Full marathon training participants should be able to comfortably run or run/walk a 10k distance before starting this program (previous completion of a half marathon is recommended, but not required).
- Half marathon training participants should be able to comfortably run or run/walk a 5k distance before starting this program (previous completion of a 10k is recommended, but not required).
- Full marathon program long runs start at 7 or 10 miles (depending on track).
- Half marathon program long runs start at 3 or 6 miles (depending on track).
- Long runs on Sunday mornings feature our infamous “Water Angel Support Stops”. We can’t put into words how awesome and clutch these support stops are – you’ll just have to see for yourself.
