Distance Training is Better with Friends

Reston DTP Superhero theme run - start planning your costume now!
Are you training for a fall mid-distance race?

One of the best ways to set yourself up for success is to join a training program.

And if you are in the DC/VA area, consider joining the Potomac River Running Distance Training Program (DTP). Here are the 6 top reasons:

Top 6 Reasons to Join

Joining a training program helps keep you on track and accountable - and it can be a lot of fun! With the =PR= DTP program you have access to:
  1. In-person coaching guidance to help you set and meet your race goals
  2. A training plan customized to your individual level and distance
  3. Twice weekly in-person workouts – one long run & one (optional) track workout
  4. New running friends to share the training journey with you
  5. Motivation to get out the door bright & early on those hot, humid summer days
  6. Discounts to all =PR= races and special in-store promotions

Reston DTP Pirate theme run - Ahoy Mateys!

Potomac River Running Distance Training Programs start the weekend of June 18 with an informal run. There are programs in Ashburn, Burke, DC/Georgetown, and Reston. Reston is, of course, my personal favorite and I'm looking forward to training there this summer. (Now I just have to pick a fall goal race)

Learn more about =PR= DTP here. Not sure if DTP is for you? Join us on June 18 (at 7 am) for the informal run and check it out. And if you come to Reston, please say hi to me!

    I trained for my first marathon and 50-miler without any running friends on my long runs, and looking back, I don't know how I did it! My most pinned thing on Pinterest was a meme I made saying, "The road seems shorter when shared with a friend." So true! Good luck with your next training cycle!

      Thank you for the good luck wishes! Good luck on your next training cycle, too. I wish for pain-free toes for both of us :)

      Ah, yes, pain free toes! I pick up my newly refurbished orthotics with extra toe support tomorrow. Here's hoping I like them AND they help.

      I'm looking forward to hearing how your refurbished orthotics work out. Mine had to be adjusted and I'm still waiting for them to come back.
