Training
Proper training can be the difference between an enjoyable and rewarding experience to an unsatisfactory outcome. Although there are a variety of training programs available for all abilities and distances, finding one that fits your schedule and needs is key. We recommend finding a training partner or group to join. The local running community is strong and welcoming. Whether you are just getting started or have been competing regularly, consider attending a group training run. Here are some options:

GO! Training Runs/Walks (January – April)
Group Training runs on held on selected Saturdays, beginning in January and concluding in early April.  These group runs are held in scenic Forest Park and
offer an informal way to meet other fitness-minded people who have similar goals.
Participants will be divided by personal fitness levels, including; advanced runners, middle-of-the-pack runners and those runners and walkers that are just getting started. In addition to the group runs, a variety of GO! partners attend and provide information and demonstrations on topics such as: proper training techniques, shoe selection and injury prevention.
