Summer/Fall 2019 Half Marathon Training Group
Goals and Purpose of Program: The Half Marathon Training Program Group is designed for runners that have some running experience and are looking to participate in fall races ranging in distances up to the half marathon.
The program will safely guide runners through an organized training schedule with the goal of improving their endurance, strength and speed.
Under the leadership of experienced and RRCA certified coaches, runners will be introduced to topics such as proper running techniques, pacing, developing a race strategy, speed work, hydration, dynamic and static stretching, etc.
Prerequisites: Participants interested in the BRRC ½ marathon Training Program should have, at a minimum, some experience running (or run/walking) races that are 5K and/or 10K in length and used to running 3+ days per week.

Many of our participants have successfully completed the May & June races, but this program is open to anyone interested in the BRF, or a different fall half marathon.
