Hill Training
 10 Week Season
Summer - Aug-Oct - $70

US Marathon Olympic Gold medalist, Frank Shorter, once said that hill training is "speed work in disguise" . In our opinion hill training is the missing link that most runners need to take their running to a whole new level. Mimicking hilly terrain during training physically and mentally prepares runners for what they may face on the race course and can help improve race times from the 5K to marathon distance and beyond. Hill training can be included in our marathon package #1 or purchased separately. For a more information on these Wed Summer workouts check out the sign up link below.

Speed/Track Training
10 Week Season
Fall - Oct-Dec - $70

Do you have the need for speed? Who doesn't and honestly the only way you will run faster is to practice running faster in a controlled environment. Improved times with various interval distances on a 400 meter track improves turnover, form, power and can really help bring those race times down. Speed training can be included in our marathon package #1 or purchased separately. For a more information on these Wed Fall workouts check out the sign up link below.
