Marathon Training Program
The marathon group meets on fall and winter Tuesday evenings at 7:00 P.M. at the Olympic Oval by the long jump pit. The group meets on spring and summer Tuesday evenings at various times and locations. The group also meets every second Saturday morning all year at 8:00 A.M. at the Eau Claire Y.M.C.A.
The program is designed for individuals who have a reasonable running base and want to run their very first marathon, or runners who are looking to post a new personal best. It is based upon certain fundamental principles proven to produce successful results for many marathon runners over the last several years.
 
Overview of the Program
  • The Tuesday night workouts may contain any combination of drills, strengthening, stretching, circuit training, hill training, tempo runs or intervals depending upon the phase of the training program. The Saturday workouts are always long, slow, distance runs.
  • Our niche is one on one personal coaching and individual tailoring of programs. The coaches will be happy to discuss training schedules for any marathons that participants are interested in.
 
Feel free to join this program at any time.
 
Requirement for participation in all programs
  • A willingness to become a member of the Calgary Roadrunners Club after a two to three-week trial period.
  • Completing the questionnaire and signing the waiver.
