MARATHON TRAINING

SATURDAY MORNING MARATHON TRAINING

Our Winter Marathon training group meets starting on December 28th at 8am at Norris University Center for an 8:15 departure. Our leader for 2025 is Chris Deeney.  Feel free to email Chris at chris.deeney@ipsos.com

The training targets the Illinois Marathon on April 26th, but many of us will run in other events.  Please let Chris know which marathon you are running this year.

We'll be using modified versions of the Hal Higdon training programs for "Novice" and "Intermediate" programs. You can find them here:

We mostly leave from Norris Center, but sometimes we have alternative starting points. Check your email for Chris' weekly updates
