The Team In Training® (TNT) run program is open to participants with any and all levels of running experience and fitness - from absolute beginners to experienced racers. 

Training

TNT run coaches have designed three- to five-month training programs which prepare participants for the target marathons or half marathons. 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 week on Saturday. Additionally, there will be "buddy runs" on the non-coached days led by assistant coaches, captains, or mentors.

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.  A typical workly schedule for our run program includes:

• Three days of running 30 to 60 minutes on your own time or with a 'buddy' group (focus is on variable pacing and also includes flaxibilty excercises and stretching)
• Longer, coached team endurance trainings on weekends
• Three rest days

Mentors 

Mentors are past TNT participants who have successfully completed the training and fundraising program. The mentor will serve as a resource and peer advisor, encouraging team members throughout the training and fundraising season. 

Honorees

TNT members train and raise funds in honor of a local resident who has been affected by a blood-related cancer. Your honoree becomes your inspiration as you work toward goals that will better both of your lives. We provide each run participant with a wristband to wear throughout the season with names of personal and team honorees.

Location

Run teams are divided into regional teams.  The Washington/Alaska Chapter of Team In Training forms teams in Seattle, Tacoma, Bellingham, Spokane, and Anchorage, depending on the season.
