Running Strong Coaching and Training will begin its Winter/Spring Marathon Training Program in Montgomery County, Maryland: "Boston Bound" starting on January 3, 2009

The Boston Bound Marathon Training Program is a coached, group training program directed by Coaches Mike Broderick and Steve Hays which is designed to prepare the participants for the challenge of running the Boston Marathon. The program can be adapted for, and is open to runners, doing other spring marathons such as the National, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Frederick Marathons.

The program will consist of 2 group workouts per week. Tuesday night runs will be at the Walt Whitman High School track, and will focus on specific conditioning exercises, drills and race specific running workouts. Saturday morning runs will be held at a variety of locations, primarily the Capital Crescent Trail in downtown Bethesda, and will focus on long runs of increasing distances and terrain to fully train your aerobic endurance and leg strength for the terrain of Boston.

Runners will be matched with others who run at similar paces to provide appropriate training intensities for all participants. In addition to the group runs, there will be specific educational seminars on various aspects of training, racing, nutrition and supplemental strength training for runners.

Program Orientation is January 3, 2008 at 10:00 AM

Walt Whitman High School, 7100 Whittier Blvd, Bethesda, MD
