The Half Marathon (13.1 miles) training program is designed to further runners towards their fitness and running goals beyond the 5K and 10K distances; runners should be able to run 3-5 miles before the training program. It will include an education on the practical impact of different training techniques and tools to enjoy running further and improve your performance. There will be occasional clinics covering a wide range of topical issues on running, health, wellness, and nutrition from the area’s leading experts. The training group will meet on Tuesday nights at 6:30 pm and Saturday mornings at 7 am; each session will start from Fleet Feet unless advised in advance. Due to the nature of the training and the distances involved, there will be more than one occasion when the training program may occur at alternate locations around Round Rock and Austin. Tuesday night runs will focus on speed or hill work, and Saturday runs will focus on building distance. You will also receive a complete weekly schedule with five days of workouts listed to help prepare you for the challenge of running 13.1 miles. We may also decide to do a few distance races around town leading up to the goal race, the 2025 Austin International Half Marathon, on Sunday, January 19th.   downhilltodowntown.com
