Training and Coaches

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training® (TNT) provides you, the athlete, with as much information, guidance and support as possible. As the world's largest endurance sports training program of its type, TNT takes pride in your success. We want to see you at the finish line.

The TNT program is designed for runners, walkers, cyclists and triathletes of all skill levels and abilities. Training programs are often broken down by skill level and experience. All TNT participants will receive valuable information on nutrition, apparel and injury prevention based on the sport they choose.

Run
Runners may be at varied levels of fitness ability. We offer both novice and veteran schedules for our runners. Our coaches will provide each athlete with a pre-training schedule that will assist our novice athletes in running four miles on their first long run of the training season.

Our veteran schedule is complete with speed workouts along the way to help experienced runners set new personal records. Our coaches will be by your side to work with you based on your experience and help you set goals.

Walk
Walk your way to the finish line. Walking is energy efficient and less stressful on the body - all key elements needed to successfully walk a full or half marathon. It is a great way to begin your endurance training experience. Walking will allow you to build up your miles with a low-impact workout. Our coach will give you a schedule that will ramp up your miles throughout the 16- to 20-week training program.

Runners and walkers train together. There are coach led runs/walks every other Sunday morning at 8 a.m at The McConnell Heart Health Center. On off weekends, trainers will arrrange group training for athletes on Saturday mornings.

Cycle
TNT's cycling program provides an opportunity for people of all ages and athletic ability to improve aerobic fitness through cycling. Our coaches will get you ready to experience and complete a 100-mile century ride.

Whether you are an avid cyclist or just starting out, we will provide you with the training and the technical skills you need. Cyclists meet on Saturday mornings at varied locations in the Central Ohio area to experience different trails and surroundings. This is a great opportunity to improve all aspects of your cycling skills while training with a team.

Triathlon
A triathlon is a multi-sport event that combines swimming, cycling and running and is among the most intense endurance challenges. Team In Training will be training participants to complete either a sprint or an olympic distance triathlon under the leadership of our experienced coaching staff. Group training sessions will be held twice a week in the form of one swimming training and one brick training (bike/run), based out of the Dublin Community Center and various local bike paths.

  • Sprint distance: 0.5-mile swim, 18-mile bike, three-mile run
  • Olympic distance: 0.9-mile swim, 25-mile bike, 6.2-mile run

Clinics will be held on proper swimming techniques, bike maintenance, running shoe fit, nutrition, and wet suit fitting. Wet suits will be provided to all recommitted participants.
