Continuing Second Wind tradition, we will offer a summer marathon training program. Our summer long runs are for those who want to train for the marathon or half-marathon races for fall marathons and will have multiple distance options for early and later races.
For those of you who are new club members, or tend to skim emails, here is some background information from past years. Because so many Second Wind-ers ran one of the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon races we scheduled our summer/fall weekend long runs to coincide with this event. This year, we decided to not focus on a given race but that doesn't mean you can't! The Saturday training runs will be every other Saturday morning at 7 a.m. beginning June 23. The club will provide water at each run.
Since this is a free training program, there will not be official pace groups like the spring training program, but there will be people running at different paces and no one ever ends up running alone. Of course, you can use these long runs as training for any event that you are interested in. There is no requirement to run in any race to come to the training runs.
