With the Green Group - ie. the Half Marathon / Tri Running Group, you will find that it is the easiest way to train for a long distance event without having to endure the distance of a full marathon. It is also a great way to train if you have a busy and hectic schedule and you just don’t have enough time in a day to run those longer distances.
For the beginner, our program is designed for individuals with the goal of completing a race regardless of pace or time. We will provide you with weekly customized training schedules that will consist of a variety of different trainings sessions of long runs, intervals and cross training. For the advance individual, our program is designed for those wanting to improve their performance and increase their endurance for a faster finishing time.
Since the Green Group is a combination of different pace groups, each individual will be placed with their appropriate pace group within the green group. For weekend long runs, the Green Group will run together for the first mile at a comfortable pace concentrating on breathing and form, then break off to its own pace group focusing on the completion of the scheduled run.
