Come Run/Walk/Run With Us in 2012!!
Our season has officially started!!! However it is still not too late to register; so come learn how to run/walk/run your way to a marathon.
Jeff Galloway and some of our members at our 2011 SLC kick off!
What is it?
A marathon and half-marathon training program designed and administered by Jeff Galloway, US Olympian and long-time marathoner which utilizes intervals of running and walking in order to minimize injury and improve finish times
When do you meet?
We meet on Saturday mornings, and in locatons which are easily accessible for those living in both Utah and Salt Lake Counties. Times and locations vary each week depending on the training schedule and weather conditions.
How can I benefit?
You will be able to run a marathon within six months (over 95% of the members do).
You will be able to run with a group each week at your ability level with a definite training schedule while enjoying good conversation
You will receive group support as you run your marathon
You will receive a personalized training schedule, one of Jeff Galloway's books, a Coolmax training singlet, a year's subscription to Runner's World magazine, as well as training advice, and endless encouragement
Do I have to have prior running experience?
Although our program caters to new runners, we do ask that you be able to comfortably run three miles before joining the group. For useful tips on getting started and building your base mileage, click here . Once you join the group, you will be placed with other runners with a similar pace and running experience.
Is the program just for marathons and half marathons?
No. Our program director will set up an individual training program for you based on your chosen race, whether it is a 5K, marathon, or any distance in between.
Do I have to train for a race, or can I just run for fun?
Several members of our program just enjoy running recreationally and prefer the support as a group, and training for a race is entirely up to you.
Who are the Program Director?
Jessica Imamura is the Program Director. She joined the group in 2010. Since then she has ran 2 marathons, 5 half-marathons, 4 Ragnar Relays, 1 triathlon, and numerous 10k and 5k's. Through her marathon training she has lost 36 pounds. She strongly believes that completing the training and marathon gave her the strength to see through her weight loss goal. She looks forward to helping others achieve their goals through this program.
