In addition to coaching, you have access to live-streamed interactive programming specific to marathon training at all levels.

In-Person Training
Meet up with a training group twice per week—a weekday speed workout, and a weekend long run. Fleet Feet coaches will lead you through every group training run and provide individualized feedback every step of the way. The camaraderie of the training group will take your training to the next level. In-person trainees receive all Premium amenities throughout the program and on race weekend, including a private start line shuttle and warming tent.
