    Are you signed up for your first 1/2 marathon and don't know where to start? Or are you just getting back into running and need some additional guidance? Or just looking for a group and coach to help keep you accountable? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this training program is for you!

    Tortoise & Hare Footwear's RRCA Level 1 Certified Coach Sarah Koehn will lead a 16-week training program starting March 1st with an end date of the Gary Bjorklund Half Marathon on June 20th. Note: while the Gary Bjorklund race is the end goal for this training group, Coach Sarah can help scale your plan for different spring races.

    Here is what to expect:

    Runs:

    • 4 runs per week: shorter runs Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday; long run on Saturdays.

    • Saturday long runs are encouraged in-person. The location of the run is TBD. We will decide a meet-up spot on during our first informational meeting on Sunday, March 1st. Runs will be led by Coach Sarah.

    Communications:

    • You'll have access to an exclusive training program group chat on the messaging platform Heylo. You will have direct access to Coach Sarah via this messaging platform.

    • You will receive a minimum of two-to-three weekly messages from Coach Sarah.

    Initial Kick-Off Party:

    • The March 1st kick-off will be a meeting with an optional run. We will meet at Tortoise & Hare Footwear at 9 am.

    • Coffee, tea, snacks, and giveaways on hand!

    Cost:

    • $120 (with training shirt)

    Financial Hardship:

    • We would like to acknowledge that, while $95/$120 is a slightly lower cost than other training programs, it is still a lot of money. We believe anyone that wants to run should be able to and cost should not be a barrier.

    • We are offering scholarship for reduced cost for those who need it. If you would like to participate in this program and do not have the funds to pay, please email [email protected] and we will assess your situation and see if and how we can help you participate!
