Our 2010 Spring Program starts at 6am on Saturday February 6th.
This 11 week program includes training and schedules for all Spring Marathons and Half Marathons, 5k and 10k races and general running fitness. All levels of runners are welcome.
The number one goal of this, and all our programs, is to keep you healthy.
We emphasize medium effort on moderate inclines, during our Monday Hill workouts. Controlled pace is stressed during Wednesday workouts where your goal is to hit the prescribed paces. Long Runs on Saturdays are run at a relaxed, conversational pace, unless Marathon Goal Pace is prescribed for that particular day.
You will receive an interactive weekly training schedule designed for your exact level of fitness. Your schedule will provide a moderate increase in weekly mileage and long runs along with an exact pace/effort to run during your workouts. It is important you follow this schedule. Consistent, injury free running is the key to your success. Consistent weekly mileage, long runs and speed work are guaranteed to get you in better shape.
3 WORKOUTS PER WEEK
We will meet on Mondays from 5:30-7:00 (morning or evening) at 303 Jackson Hill, 77007 for Hill Training.
The group start will be at 6:15 (morning or evening). The actual hill running workout will take 30 minutes. Core training will take place from 6:55-7:05 (morning or evening) so bring a towel.
We will meet Wednesday from 5:15-7:00 (morning or evening) at the east corner of Memorial Park for Intervals, Fartleks, Tempo runs, and Progressive runs.
There will be no group start time as runners are given specific pace to run depending on their fitness level - runners can start at any time. Core training sessions will take place at 6:15, 6:30 and 6:45 (morning or evening) so bring a towel.
We will meet on Saturdays from 6:00-9:30am at 303 Jackson Hill, 77007 (next to the softball field) for the Long Run.
Some runners will start before 6am and then rejoin the group for the 6am group start. We will have pace groups for 5:00, 4:45, 4:30, 4:15, 4:00, 3:45, 3:30, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathoners. The mile paces for these groups will range from 12:30-7:00 minute miles. All runners can run with the pace groups even if not training for a full marathon. A different course is mapped out each week and details are emailed to all registered runners. The course is supported with fluid stations every 2-3 miles and has a vehicle cruising to watch out for any injured or stranded runners. The distance of the course differs each week but “possible other distance” options are also emailed with a map. Runners will run the distance shown on their training schedule.
Boston Marathon Program
If you are running the Boston Marathon in 2010, we have workouts specifically designed to get you ready. Training schedules will start January 4th.
Our Spring Program will prepare you for the demanding Boston Course by including downhill running on our long runs and some of the Monday hill workouts. There will be groups of runners who go to Conroe 1-2 times per month for their long run.
