Trail and Ultra Running
The Get Fit Atlanta Trail and Ultra Training program is designed to introduce you to the world of trail running and provides you the support you need to complete your first trail race and meet your goals. Trail races can be as short as 10K so you don't need to start out doing a 50K but once you start trail running you will want to. This program is an extension of our Marathon and Half Marathon group so you get all the benefits of that program plus these additional trail and ultra running benefits.
* Training program for your target race(s)
- Our training program is realistic and attainable and has enabled our members to move beyond the boundary of 26.2 to reach their goals.
- Our training runs will match the terrain and elevation of your target race and where possible will include practice runs on the actual course.
* Training with your own group of similarly paced members
- You will continue to be part of your pace color group and will run with them part of the time.
- Saturday distance will closely match the Marathon and Half Marathon target races so you can continue to train for road races.
- All Marathon and Half Marathon benchmark runs will be run on the road with your color group.
* Additional coaching on Trail running and Ultras.
- Organized runs on varied terrain to acclimate you to both rocks and hills.
- Back to Back long runs to prepare you for an Ultra if that is your goal.
- Night time runs
- 8 hour runs on a short course (1 to 2 miles). These runs are for time. You go at your own pace for 8 hours with aid available every loop.
* Education
- Seminars on key topics, including race preparation, cross training, nutrition and more
- Online resources
- Member Only Interactive On-line Discussion Forum
