Our training
programs are geared to both beginners and experienced runners. The
full marathon program starts with three miles of running and
walking, and gradually increases in distance. The half marathon
program starts with just one mile. Your running Coach will be on
hand each week to answer your questions and give you valuable advice
and encouragement. In the past ten years, we've trained more
than 20,000 people to complete a marathon or half marathon.
You can do it too!
The Regular Training Program
consists of just 30
minutes, twice a week on your own, and then longer group runs on the
weekend. Each weekend, you'll train with your "pace group" - other
runners who share your same level of conditioning, whether fast or
slow. You'll always train at a comfortable pace and, believe
it or not, you'll even have fun doing it!
The Advanced Training Program is designed for
experienced, faster runners as well as veteran marathoners who have
a specific marathon time goal. The advanced program consists
of hill training, tempo runs, interval training and gradually
increasing long runs. Participation
in the Advanced Training Program will require meeting certain
prerequisites to be determined by the Coaches of the AIDS Marathon.
