NWI Winter Half Marathon Training Program Registration

Description

The NWI Winter Half Marathon Training Program is twelve weeks of half marathon training for walk-runners, beginners, intermediate runners, and experienced runners who want a coach, a plan, strength training, and a team behind them on the way to the F³ Lake Half Marathon in Chicago on Saturday, January 30, 2027.

Choose your training format

• In-Person Group Training, $150. Everything below, plus the Meet & Greet and Saturday group runs at 8:00 a.m. on the Oak Savannah Trail in Hobart.
• Virtual Training, $75. Train from anywhere with the same training schedules, strength training, Hub access, weekly coaching emails, team shirt, and team community, plus an email from me after the Meet & Greet with all the details, and the ability to ask me questions anytime. Group runs are the only piece you’ll miss.

Four levels, one team

Pick the level that matches where you are today. You can move between levels during training if we decide together that a change makes sense.

• Beginner Walk-Run: planned run-walk intervals that build to 13.1 miles safely.
• Beginner Run: your first half marathon, built on easy running and steady long runs.
• Intermediate: for runners with a few races behind them who want a stronger, smarter half.
• Advanced: workouts, long runs with race-pace segments, and a plan to go after a goal time.

Early bird: the first 10 to register save $10. Use code FIRST10 at checkout (one per person; once 10 people have used it, it’s gone).
