   By following the Columbus Running Company's fall marathon plan, you will become one of the many to reach your personal goals this coming autumn as you finish the 26.2 or 13.1 mile distance. Though similar, everyone will follow a personal, slightly different plan. This is because there are universal concepts to training, but we all have very different aerobic backgrounds - your plan is put together to prepare you to cover 26.2 miles or 13.1. At the kick-off party, you'll fill out a personal evaluation that will be used in the creation of your training schedule. It's not just the finish line that counts, but the journey that gets you there. We hope you join us!.

- Kick off party. At the kick-off, we'll have munchies and refreshments, explain the details of the training plans, answer questions, and get to know one another as we begin the journey towards that starting line together.

-  A day-by-day plan to take you from day one to the starting line. The plan is designed to strengthen your body over the coming months until you have gained the endurance that it takes to call yourself a marathoner.
-  Clinics- nutrition, race day preparation, clothing, stretching and strengthening, and more!
-  Free cross training sessions at a gym near the store location of your choice. You'll have access to a gym once a week, with a contact person in case you need advice on specific cross training techniques.
-  A technical shirt. Train in it, race in it, sleep in it, wear it to party in after your big event.

-  Weekly group runs. Every weekend we'll meet in your respective store for the week's long run. Saturday morning at 8am, we'll have a run in Pickerington and Dublin. Sunday's at 8am we'll be in Westerville. Pair up, follow the routes we provide, and finish in the cool of the store for post-run stretching out of the summer heat. The CRC will also provide water along the run route and in the store afterwards, as well as nutrition for the long runs. During the week, we'll schedule track workout options for those interested in some extra speed. Wednesday will be in Dublin, and Thursday will be in Pickerington.

 

-  Online running journal access. Use our online running journal to chart your progress and keep motivation up. This useful tool also allows the CRC coaches to monitor your progress, make any needed changes in your workout schedule, and help you remain healthy and excited as you become a marathoner! You can also make your log public or private and keep track of others in the group. 

-  10% discount on all in-store shoes and apparel while taking part in the training plan, among other discounts on items such as gels and hydration.

-  Extras like occasional giveaways, race day support for the Columbus marathon, and more....

 

Constant access to the CRC coaches. Stop in to talk over training with us, shoot us an email, or give us a call at any time. We're here to help you make it to that starting line!

   

The cost of the program is only $65 for newcomers and $40 for repeat champions. We challenge you to find a program as comprehensive and personable as this one - for any price! We are here for you!
