Missoula Marathon and Half Marathon Training Program 2009
Starts: March 7, 2009

Get ready for the 2009 Missoula Marathon or Half Marathon with Run Wild Missoula’s training program for anyone.  You don’t have to be a semi-professional athlete, former track star, 5% body fat, or logging 30 miles a week to participate.  All you have to be is someone who wants to complete the half or full Missoula Marathon on Sunday, July 12, 2009.

The course starts with distances as low as 2 miles, but how fast you run absolutely does not matter. 

For beginners, there is even a run/walk option.  Beginners who have not run a step as of the first day of class will be encouraged to set the Missoula Half Marathon as their goal.  (Yes, you can do this.  You have six hours to complete the Half Marathon course and you have 4 ½ months to train.)
The program begins conservatively but you’ll find the miles start adding up quickly, even if you’re a more advanced runner.  By the end of this course you will be ready for race day.

With the Training Program participants receive:

• Coaching by Anders Brooker, Cross Country and Track Coach at Hellgate High School (2007 Men’s State Champions), Owner Runner’s Edge.
• Comprehensive Training Program
• Twice Weekly Group Runs
• Weekly Speakers
• Nutrition Plan
• “Missoula Marathon In Training” Shirt
• Great Group of People to Run With

First Day:         Sunday, March 8
Location:          Runner’s Edge, 325 No. Higgins Ave., Missoula
Time:                8 am
Wear:               Your running gear and be ready to run
