PREREQUISITES:

In order to be successful with this program, we ask that you must have run a 2:00-2:15 Half Marathon in the past 8 months. The first long run will be 5 miles at 10:00-10:30 pace, and your present level of fitness should allow you to run it at conversational easy pace (not winded). If you are unsure, contact training@ridgefieldrunning.com and we'll help you decide if this program is a good fit.

Schedule:

• Saturdays at 7:00 AM: Long Runs from Ridgefield Running Company
• Tuesdays at 5:45 AM: Speed work/track workouts @ Ridgefield High School
• Wednesdays at 5:30 PM: Strength For Athletes" high-intensity resistance workout at FitGuana on Bailey Avenue
• Thursdays at 6:00 PM: Tempo runs from Ridgefield Running Company
• The 4th run of the week will be on your own.
• EVEN IF YOU CANNOT MAKE ALL OF THE SUPPORTED RUNS (for instance, you can't make the Thursday evening workouts), IT'S STILL A FANTASTIC VALUE and you can still have success with the program!

Note that you are not required to attend all of the runs or Fitguana gym class, but there will be no discounts given if you cannot regularly attend a group run or the FitGuana class.

Additional Information:

• This program expects that you will be able to run 4 runs per week (3 supported, 1 independent), and strength train/cross train once per week. You will get the full plan with detailed explanations once you sign up.

• Some of the runs will be pre-dawn. You will be required to have a hi-viz vest, light-up vest, or other way to be seen on the roads. A headlamp or a pop of reflectivity on your clothing is not enough.

• We'll have a fun, supportive (and optional) Facebook group available for you to join once you are in. You can find training partners and post your #proofofrun from your vacation for accountability!
