Thank you for your Interest! Happy Training!
Simply put I couldn't have achieved the goal of running my first marathon without this training group. Although an avid runner of shorter distances all my life, a marathon-especially in SF-seemed so daunting. So I set out to run my first marathon on my 40th birthday …and achieved this lifelong goal by sticking to the plan. It wasn't easy but the AE team helped make it a reality. The entire staff was really cool and friendly. Thanks!" –Archie M.
The program is designed to prepare you to run The San Francisco full or half marathons on August 3, 2008. The program will teach you proper running form, build your endurance, and provide you with the running skills that you will carry on through your lifetime!
