The 2018 Newport Marathon Training Program is a 17 week program designed for all levels of runners who have previously run at least one 10k road race (completion of a half marathon suggested, but not required).  The graduation race for this program is the 2018 Newport Marathon, but the program can also be used to train for any fall marathon (within a few weeks of 10/7/18 - we can help you tailor the program as needed).  We will offer two "tracks" this season: a 26.2 "Finish" track, for first time marathoners or those looking to keep their weekly mileage at a reasonable amount, or a 26.2 "Fast" track for experienced marathoners looking to improve time and up their weekly distances.  We can help you decide which track is the safest and most appropriate for your goals.

Each week will feature two organized training workouts, including form lessons to help participants avoid injury.   Long runs will feature support stops, including water, an electrolyte beverage, and other goodies.  All participants will receive a punch coupon (with TONS of savings!), weekly motivational and educational eNewsletters, a detailed daily training schedule (can be modified for your particular race timeline), a technical shirt, graduation party and more!
