RUNNING!!!
100% of you just had a visceral reaction.
Some of us LOVE running and with the sunshine today, you may not need much prodding for a chance to get outside again. For those of you whose feel good emotions are more running-adjacent, then do I have a deal for you!
For the 4th year in a row, I'll be hosting a Trolley Run Training Group. We know the positive effects running has on our bodies, both mentally and physically, but for some it may feel like you're always fighting yourself. So just like everything we do at Fountain City, our program is here to be COACHED. When's the last time (if ever) you've actually had a professional watch you run or talk about running efficiency? There's no reason for your knees to hurt! If running is your jam, when's the last time you had a specific training plan for an actual race? Let us walk you through pacing strategies and actual training methodologies for your best race ever!
What: Trolley Run Training Group. Prepare for the 36th Annual Trolley Run, a 4-mile race starting in Waldo and running downhill to the Plaza.
When: The race itself is Sunday April 28th at 8:00.
The training group will be for 4 weeks ahead of time starting on and continuing every Tuesday, April 2nd at 5:30PM and every Saturday at 8:00AM.
Where: Both the training group AND the race start right from the FCF parking lot. We'll be training on the same course the race is on!
Who: Everyone! We will have separate custom programs for those of you just starting an interest in running (walking included!!!) as well as time and distance progressions for those trying to set a new PR. We encourage current members and non-members to come be a part!
Your $150 registration fee includes:
- Free entry into the race. ($55 value)
- A choice between 2 customizable training programs made for the person just getting started OR the person looking to set a new Trolley Run PR. Programs written for 3x a week running. The third run is optional as homework.
- 2 Group/Coached runs per week. Tuesday Night and Saturday Morning.
- Free signup to our Kickoff Running Clinic.
Repeat this year:
Kickoff Running Clinic on Saturday, March 30th at 8:00am going over everything from form to shoes to correct pacing. This is included in all signups, but for those of you who are just wanting some basic knowledge and a chance to implement those things practically, you can sign up for the Clinic alone for $20.
Running Clinic ONLY Registration
I look forward to running with you all again this year!
Coach Travis
