Your Personal Running and Walking Store Experience

Meet the Coaches     Sign-up Here

The CRC program is tailored for the individual - whether you are a beginner or experienced athlete looking to improve. We've partnered with Reebok and John Bingham Racing to provide you the best tools for success!

The training program includes:

- A training program designed for you, whether you are a walker, run/walker, or runner of any ability. The training schedules are personalized, as attention to the individual's goals and background is of highest priority. The CRC is not an advocate of one-size fits all generic group training plans, therefore each program is tailored specifically to each person on a day-to-day basis.

- Kick-off party, Wed. Jan 9th at 6:45pm (Dublin) and Thurs. Jan 10th at 6:45pm (Pickerington). First group run will be Sat. January 12th. Come hungry on Wed. or Thurs. and energetic on Saturday. If you are new to the CRC, we will use the kick off party as an opportunity to set some individual goals and learn more of your background. This is important as we structure each individual's plan differently.

- Free Reebok "'08 CRC Training" technical t-shirt. You'll look almost as good as you'll feel at the finish line. While supplies last, you'll also get a Cap. City "In Training" shirt when you sign up. 

- Clinics led by CRC coaches and other experts in their fields - such as nutrition. Topics cover cross training, nutrition, mental preparation, shoes and apparel, and individual race day strategy- including video footage and course run down. Due to the volume and time of the clinics, we no longer are having them on Saturday with the 'long run', but will schedule them during the week.

- One free day per week of the program for cross training at Pulse Fitness in Dublin or World Gym in Pickerington, each located very close to CRC. If you would like to expand your cross training horizon, these gyms can help! Not only will you have weekly access to the facilities, we'll have contacts at each, available for advice. This service is free with the program.

- 10% off everything in the store during the program.

- Weekly email with advice and any items you may have missed the previous week.

- The CRC utilizes an online training log at www.logarun.com. This is optional, but we encourage program participants to take advantage - it's easy! The running log allows you to keep track of what you like privately or publicly - everything from mileage, cross training, shoe wear, weight, resting heart rate, and more! Perhaps the best feature of the program is the ability for the coach(es) to have access to the log and write back to the individual on a daily basis.

- On-course meeting point on the day of the Cap. City races.

Other Points of Interest
- Saturday at 8am is group long run day. We'll head out from the stores onto a marked path around the miles and miles of Dublin bike paths or the  

neighborhoods of Pickerington. For the longer runs, water and gels (you'll learn to love these) will be available. We will stretch and keep warn inside the stores.

- Cost of the program is $65 or $40, and that does not include entry into the event.

“By discovering your limitations and then overcoming them, you can learn to be your own hero.”

If you are training for a separate event, let us know and we can tailor the plan for you!

Here is a quote from one who completed a previous training program:

When I first started, my goal was to run 30 seconds at a time, alternating with walking.  I was happy to accomplish that and every time I increased the amount of time I was able to run I was thrilled.  Before long it was minutes, and when I ran for the first time for 1/2 hour ~ I was so happy with myself.  I still feel that way.  Every time I run a little further, or a little faster, it inspires me to want to do it again.  When I finish a run and I am tired and sometimes sore ~ the first thing I start to think about is how I'll do tomorrow . . .  

It seems like everything else I do is for someone else ~ I'm a wife, a mother, an employee . . . but running is all about me.  No one else knows or cares if I go out to run or not, how far I go or how hard I work at it.  Only me.  I feel like running has given me so much ~ better health (well except for sore knees!), peace of mind, challenges . . . that's what inspires me to want to run. 

Of course, having you guys there with ready encouragement and support doesn't hurt!  I would have NEVER guessed I'd be able to run a half-marathon a year ago.  Thanks so much for helping to boost my self-confidence ~ truly I would not have entered the half-marathon if I hadn't wandered in to your store back in January!   

See you Saturday! 

Linda
