Fall Half Marathon Training

Mistletoe Race Half Marathon

Sponsored by Brooks

Registration Opens June 1st.

Join us for the ORIGINAL Fleet Feet Sports Winston-Salem training program!  

This Fall our Half Marathoners will be joining our Marathon participants in training for
Savannah Rock N Roll Half Marathon 2012. 

Pace groups, speedwork, and specific training plans will enable anyone who can currently run 5 miles to finish their first half marathon OR improve over previous performances.   


Half-Marathon (13.1 miles):
 Designed for runners who can run 5 miles in less than 60 minutes. This program incorporates distance, speed, and hill work to prepare you for your first half marathon.

  • Kickoff Meeting:  Tuesday, August 14th at 7:30pm at Fleet Feet Sports 
  • First Practice: Saturday, August 18th at 7:00am at Fleet Feet Sports
  • Target Race:  Savannah Rock N Roll Half Marathon on Saturday, November 3rd
  • Weekly Practices: Saturdays at 7am and Tuesdays at 6pm
  • Cost:  $100 (does not include race registration) 

Tuesday nights you will be challenged with a combination of hill work, form drills and speed workouts. Designed to help you run faster and more efficiently, you will be amazed with your improved overall fitness from these challenging and fun sessions.

Saturday mornings we will go the distance.  We will begin the program by running for time in an effort to increase your overall time on your feet.  Half way through the program we will transition into mileage, eventually building up to running 12 miles before we taper for race day.  

Pace groups will help you to challenge yourself while giving you a consistent group for training.  Your registration information sheet and our first group practice will allow us to appropriately place you in your group.  Your schedule will be tailored for your group and you will work together throughout the program to help one another reach the next level in distance and speed.  Each pace group will have an assigned volunteer coach with them on the run.

Race Information:  The 2nd annual Savannah Rock N Roll Marathon and Half Marathon will be an amazing event for both runners and spectators.  Lodging options are listed online with better deals located outside of the city.  Participants in the Fleet Feet Sports training programs will be given a code for race registration which will offer a $15 discount for race entry.  In addition, spaces are being held for all Fleet Feet Sports Training Program participants.  Chat with your friends in training all across the country on the Savannah Rock N Roll Facebook Page.
