How Does It Work?
At RunnerDude’s Fitness, you can train for any race you’d like. We don’t limit you to a specific race or just a select few races. There are two big training cycles-Spring and Fall. Training for spring races typically beings in November, December or January and training for fall races typically begins in June, July, or August.
Training plans range in length from 10-16 weeks. 5K and 10K race plans are 10 weeks, half-marathon training plans are 12 weeks and full marathon plans are 16 weeks. When thinking about selecting a race and training, back up 10-16 weeks from the race date and that’s when training begins. Prior to the race training start date, a runner should have a solid running base leading into training. Each training plan comes with a consultation with Thad. At a minimum, Thad needs to meet with a runner 2 weeks prior to training beginning to find out about a runner’s current running, running fitness level, and their desired goals for the race. A month prior is even better, giving Thad more time to connect with and learn about the runner and his/her racing goals.
Training includes a Saturday group long run which is a great time for the runners to connect and motivate one another.
Ongoing communication via email, text, instant messaging, and in person takes place with Thad and a runner throughout training.
Each runner receives his/her own customized training plan based on their current running, running fitness level, and desired goals.
