Training Programs

Interested in taking your running to the next level? Looking for some expert guidance and support? =PR= Training Programs, LLC, is focused solely on coaching. Through this subsidiary business, we offer training programs for every runner -- from novice to elite athlete.

We have a proven track record of providing the appropriate mix of training guidance, race preparation, motivation and encouragement to help athletes of all levels develop. We believe a disciplined program enables a runner to make measureable improvements -- regardless of his/her age, talent, experience, or initial fitness level.

Depending on your background and goals, you can select the training program (and program meeting time) that is best for you. We offer Group-based programs like our popular Running 101 Program and Distance Training Program (all participants follow similar basic schedule focused toward a common goal), and Individualized programs (tailored to a runner's specific background and goals, which may be unique and vary dramatically.)

Training program participants will find a supportive atmosphere, great coaching, special accomodations at =PR= races and events, and more!
