More Details

The Program

Beginning Saturday, August 28th and continuing for 12 weeks, our training program consists of:

LONG RUNS on Saturday mornings from different locations throughout the city. Half training will start at 7am. Full distance training start times will vary by distance and route.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT RUNS with East Nasty at 12th and Holly AKA ‘The Grassy Knoll’.

AN ACCOUNTABILITY GROUP who can give lots of support and advice.

WEEKLY NEWSLETTER updates, with training notes, special events, and a brunch or two!

If you’ve trained with us before, you’ll notice some changes. This fall session is 12 weeks instead of 16, and groups will be self-paced (more like Wednesday night runs) so make sure you know the route! We plan to be back full-steam for the Spring series.

One thing that hasn’t changed is:

the Cost

As with all East Nasty programs, training with us is absolutely free!

Training Requirements

The only requirement is that you are able to run five miles without stopping on the first day of training for half marathon training or eight miles for full marathon training.

COVID PRECAUTIONS

It goes without saying that the safety of our runners is top priority. Should COVID-19 public health guidelines and recommendations change at any time, the program will be modified accordingly.
