You will need to set aside aprocimately 6-8 hours per week to work on your individual training. The longer runs or walks will be done with the team on the weekends. You will begin with low mileage during group run/walks and will work up to higher mileage as a result of your dedication to training. You will get to feel the amazing difference in your overall physical being.
Programs are customized for all fitness levels from absolute beginner to multi time marathoner. Participants have the option of running or combination run/walk or a walk training program.
Every 200 to 300 miles you will need to replace your running shoes. So it is expected you will need to purchase one to two pairs throughout your training. In cold weather, you will need to wear several layers with the bottom one being breathable fabric. For warm days, it is suggested you wear breathable fabrics like Nike Dri-Fit or Cool Max clothing.
