Depending on your background and goals, you can select the training program (and program meeting time) that is best for you. We offer group-based programs (all participants follow the same basic schedule focused toward a common goal), and individualized programs (tailored to a runner's specific background and goals, which may be unique and vary dramatically.)

Nora came to the first Running 101/201 training program in Cleveland Park convinced that she was a beginner runner who really didn't like to run. After just two sessions, Coach Taneen Carvell challenged her a bit as she was easily keeping to the heels of the faster runners despite believing in her "beginner" status. By leading the other new runners and having stronger runners to 'chase', Nora quickly found her groove and her runner smile. And proved her ability to rise to the challenge, tackling her first 10K within six weeks of the class training. But most of all, she learned to love running. And the fun of being challenged and cheered equally across the miles.
