2024 Spring Half Marathon Training

Are you ready to transition from those cold winter months and crush an April half marathon?

Our 10-week Half Marathon Training program, meeting twice a week, will help you build your distance throughout the tough winter months. The training schedule is in line with the second annual Jersey City Half Marathon on Sunday, April 14, 2024.

Stay accountable and motivated with a training plan including daily assignments for running, walking, cross training, and recovery. Work with experienced Fleet Feet coaches and mentors on speed, endurance, running mechanics, fueling, hydration and more. Utilizing the *Final Surge training app, your coaches can tailor training to your comfort level, distance and ability.

THINKING OF RUNNING JC FULL MARATHON? We can provide you with a marathon distance training plan and comaraderie of group training. In order to meet the marathon training mileage you'll need to pre-load or add-on to the scheduled half marathon long runs. If you have questions on how the program will make full marathon training adjustments, please email us at paul@fleetfeetmontclair.com.

We believe that training programs can be life changing. Setting goals, making friends, being part of a community, getting stronger and healthier, achieving new potentials - that's what it's all about!
