FAQsHow do I know if I’m ready?This group is open to all levels and abilities including walkers and those who are looking to begin a running routine. What if I can’t make it to the group runs? That’s ok. Come to as many as you can but don’t let the group run schedule deter you from joining the program. Our training groups are typically around 20-30 runners and it would be impossible to find a single day and time that works for every single person. Don’t think that if you can’t it to every session you won’t find value in the program. We've had runners in the past who didn’t make it to any group sessions but still found great value in the coaching/group dynamic, had a great experience, and successfully completed the race. Will I be too slow? This is probably the most asked question and the answer is a resounding no! Our groups include runners of all paces, from sub-10 minute pace to 15-16++ min. per mile pace. The large majority of our 5K runners seem to fall into the 12-13 minute pace range. We encourage runners & walkers to pair up with a partner who is at a similar pace. What if I want to train with the group but I am doing a different race?This is fine but you will be responsible for modifying your training plan to meet your specific needs. If your schedule is ahead of the group’s, we also ask that you don’t encourage other runners to run longer distances than what is prescribed in their training plan. Will the group runs happen in bad weather? Generally speaking yes, except for unsafe conditions such as lightning. We will always keep the group posted about the status of our group runs. Is individualized coaching available? While we do our best to respond to and accommodate everyone's individual needs, please keep in mind that this is group training. We do not currently offer one-on-one training. What if I change my mind about training, can I get a refund? Unfortunately, once the shirts are ordered we are not able to offer refunds on the program. If you have a unique circumstance that prohibits you from completing the program, we can gladly offer you a spot in a future training program. Any refunds prior to the ordering of shirts would not include any applicable Run Signup fees.
