Fleet Feet Lincoln Half and Full Marathon Training Class

16 Weeks for Full Marathon | 14 Weeks for Half Marathon

Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced Classes

Achieve your running goals this spring with Fleet Feet Lincoln! Our Full and Half Marathon Training Classes are perfect for every runner. Whether you're aiming to reach the finish line for the first time or the hundredth, our in-person training programs will help you get there.

New this year, we've revamped the training class groupings. Each class will train on the same days but will have different goals, coaches, and mentors to get them to the finish line! We are excited to offer these new options to make for a more inclusive and welcoming training class community; see the options here:

• The Beginner class is for the runner who is training for their first half or full marathon. The primary goal of this class is making sure you reach the finish line, not worrying about breaking any specific time on the race clock.

• The Intermediate/Advanced class is for the runner who has completed multiple half or full marathons, is experienced with training, and is wanting to get faster or set a new personal record!

What's New?

New this year in Lincoln, all training class members will receive:

• Nutrition advice from a local dietician.

• Strength training advice from a local gym, elevating your training needs and ensuring you have all of the tools for a successful race and beyond.

Additionally, we are putting a greater focus on the Beginner group. It is our goal to ensure you can always find a mentor, coach, or fellow training class member to run with at group meetups, regardless of pace.
