Training

Half Marathon Clinic

Participants should be able to run a continuous 10km (without stopping) prior to starting this program to avoid any injuries that may arise from an improper increase in training. Forerunners Clinic Staff will guide you through the 12 week clinic training program.

5K Learn to Run Clinic

Novice group is designed to progress the participant from zero running experience to 30 minutes non-stop after 12 weeks. Graduates will be able to successfully complete the Scotiabank 5 km on June 28th.

Clinic sign-up includes a weekly training schedule (designed by 2:10 marathoner and Forerunners owner Peter Butler and 2:17 marathoner and clinic leader Jerry Ziak) as well as a New Balance souvenir.
