Training
The Team In Training® (TNT) run programs are open to participants with any and all levels of running experience and fitness - from absolute beginners to experienced racers. Participants are divided into groups based on fitness levels and previous running experience.
TNT run coaches have designed three- to five-month training programs which prepare participants for their selected event. Participants will train and work directly with the coaches at weekly track workouts. Coaches are also available throughout the week to answer training and fitness-related questions. There will be one coached workout every two weeks, usually on Saturday. Additionally, there will be "buddy runs" on the non-coached weekends and midweek led by other volunteers (mentors & captains).
Coaches
The TNT run programs offers a qualified and dedicated group of run trainers. Our coaches were selected for their experience, professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm, as well as their devotion to the cause. All of our coaches have extensive coaching experience and have proven themselves in numerous athletic endeavors.
Mentors and Captains
TNT run team members will be matched with a past participant, who is also a current member of the team. This mentor will help guide new teammates through the training and fundraising season.
Honorees
TNT members train and raise funds in honor of a personal connection to blood cancer, or in honor of a local resident who has been affected by a blood cancer. Your honoree becomes your inspiration as you work toward goals that will better both of your lives. We have an Honoree Captain, who ensures your connection with the mission is powerful and inspiring, reminding you every day why you are doing something extraordinary.
