Frequently Asked Questions

No.  We are member based only and do not offer individual drop in runs for free or a fee.

Pacing vary greatly within the group from 13:00 pace per mile to 7:00 pace per mile.  We welcome runners of all skill levels and paces; however, we strongly recommend being able to run/walk at least 3, continuous miles before starting any of our group training seasons.  If you are a running newbie, we highly recommend starting with our Spring Launch Program. Launch coaches beginner runners or those returning to the sport over 18 weeks from late January to late May each year.  

Having a race or running goal to shoot for before you start training really helps, but many of our runners train with us for general wellness and the community. All are welcome!

On most weeks we offer a Tuesday track or hill interval workout and a Saturday endurance long run.  For Tuesday workouts we offer both a 5:15 AM and 6:00 PM session.  Long runs meet at 5:40 am and get started at 6:00 pm.  Once a month we offer a Sunday morning trail run road trip and a nearby state or local park.  Once a month on a Thursday evening we offer a happy hour run.

We are a run coaching group, but every member has full access to In Flight Head Coach & Founder, Michael Merlino.  He's available at every group run to answer your questions and help you fine-tune your running.  All members are provided with a training schedule that meets them where they are with their running.  Members are coached on how to determine their own pacing and heart rate zones to progress as a runner, yet minimize risk of injury.

Our adult programs are designed for 18 years and older. We have a pretty diverse age spread in the group with running in their mid 20s through upper 60s. Again, all paces and ages are welcome!
