Fleet Feet is taking a little different approach in its first marathon training program.  With many of our training groups we take people from a small base and help them build up their mileage to a goal distance.  By the time we start the Spring Marathon program, we assume you’ve already built your mileage to the 10-12-mile distance (either with our half marathon program or on your own), and will guide you as you prepare for a June marathon.  Many Tucsonans target the San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon in June because of the great weather and accessibility of the event.   In addition to a daily/weekly training plan, each long run on Saturday will be planned out and supported by a Fleet Feet coach.  Wednesday track workouts also will be planned and coached.
