Our marathon training program will have you ready for the Austin Marathon on February 14, 2010!

All group workouts are run workouts at the track, where team members will enhance running form, increase speed, and improve endurance. Our fall/winter training schedule will emphasize the benefits of cross-training in a fun team environment.

We welcome ALL speeds. You should comfortably be able to run 8 miles before beginning our marathon training program.
