We don’t require much to join, but there are some guidelines that you should feel comfortable meeting:
Be able to run* 2-3 days per week, up to 15 miles total per week. Though we will immediately start running 4x per week at about 15-20 miles depending on ability- Be able to complete 4-5 miles on a single run* Though our first “Long” run is 5-7 miles depending on ability.
- Medically cleared by your doctor as needed. (Training for a half marathon is rigorous and required a lot of physical training. We don’t want heart attacks)
- Have a fun, outgoing and “can-do” attitude
*While the program is designed for “runners” only, it is okay to not fully be there yet. We do encourage “walk breaks” if need be – especially during the first few weeks of training. We do NOT have a “Run-Walk” program. It is NOT recommended to show up on day one without any running experience or training under your belt.
If you’re planning on joining us but not quite there yet, follow our Prep Training Program on your own for up to 4 weeks in advance.
