Details About Training:
This training program will help you gear up for your Fall Half Marathon goals! With a goal race of the Monterey Bay Half Marathon, this training team is suited for anyone racing a fall half marathon in October through December, or to use as training towards marathon training in early 2024. With training tracks for different paces (including walking, run/walk, run-continuous, and competitive), levels of experience, and goals (from completing the race to PRs), the Fleet Feet Half Marathon Training Team is a great option for everybody and every body!
While our programs are designed to build on one another so that we become comfortable with longer distances organically, we welcome new runners and walkers to our program as well, and we generally recommend that being able to run, walk, or use a combination of run/walk comfortably for at least 2-3 miles at the start of the program is a solid base for us to build on to reach your half marathon goal by the end of the program. If you would like to join the program and are not quite to this mileage point yet, please reach out to Michael Charbonneau, Training Programs Coordinator, at michael.charbonneau@fleetfeet.com to discuss options to get you to your most joyful, empowered running, movement, and goals! We want you in this community!
Running Coaches:
Fleet Feet's team of experienced running coaches will check in with you at every training run to keep track of your progress, keep you motivated, and give you individualized coaching. Training groups will be small, so you'll have plenty of one-on-one time with your coach.
