Pineries Training Program

About the Program

The goal of the Pineries Run Crew Training Program is to help runners develop sustainable running habits that’ll help them achieve their goals. This group training program is developed and guided by certified run coaches who are trained in physical therapy. That means they are able to merge knowledge about the best training tactics with an understanding of how to keep people healthy along the way.

​

The program is for runners of all experience levels. So, whether you’re running your first 5K or trying to set a new PR in the half marathon, this program can help you!

Training Peaks

• What is it? It is an online platform that athletes can access through the web or phone app where you will get a calendar that shows your prescribed workouts each day.  It is a seamless way to connect athletes with their coach who can provide more detailed instruction.

• What’s included: Any mode of workout including running, lifting, cross-training, etc.  You will also have access to metrics and data about your pace, heart rate, elevation and other personal stats.

• Have a running watch?  You can link the program to your watch so you don’t check your phone!

• Love to see the data on your progress?  TrainingPeaks automatically does the calculation to find thresholds, predict fitness levels and measure your fatigue levels.

• Exclusive training team t-shirt.
