Training and Coaching
With The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training® (TNT), walkers, runners, cyclists, and triathletes experience the camaraderie of a team sport and the thrill of personal accomplishment that comes from completing a marathon, half marathon, century ride, triathlon, or hike adventure.
Training and the Program
Our nationally certified coaches will begin leading team members through a comprehensive four to five-month training program created for optimum personal performance based on their own personal level of ability. Each participant receives sound advice on form and technique, race strategies, equipment, injury prevention and nutrition. Team members benefit from increased strength, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, and weight control.
The program is designed with the busy person in mind, so most weekday trainings are between 45 and 90 minutes, with longer trainings reserved for weekends. Online coaching options are also available to those that prefer it to meeting with a local team, or are not able to.
Prerequisites
There are no restrictions to join the Team In Training program. No prior sport experience is necessary. The only requirements are based on the course time limits of the individual events.
Marathon group training sessions will occur on Saturday mornings. These training sessions will be complemented by a series of clinics focusing on everything from proper fitness techniques, to determining the right shoes, injury prevention, and nutrition for runners/walkers. You will also be fully supported by our experienced coaching staff.
Cycling group training sessions offer numerous cycling outings, ranging in location. Expect to do one team ride a week on Saturday, beginning with two or three loops with outings increasing in mileage over the season. Your training sessions will be complemented by a variety of helpful clinics. You will also have an experienced coaching staff guiding you every step of the way. Event distances will vary from 75 to 120 miles depending on which event is offered during a season.
