St. Louis Track Club starts free marathon training sessions
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
We’ve been touting the numerous family running events, so, in the interest of balance, we offer news of a FREE training session for runners who have signed up for a fall marathon: Detroit, Chicago, New York, or any of the fine, smaller races.
The St. Louis Track Club will offer a free series of 16 weekly training runs beginning at 7 a.m. June 27 in Queeney Park. A couple catches. You must have a base fitness level that includes:
- At least three runs a week
- Minimum of 20 miles a week
- Running at least 8 miles without walking.
One other thing: You must be a member of the St. Louis Track Club. The good news is that the club offers a six-month membership for just $15.
The group meets a different parks each week and often gathers for coffee and refueling after the run. Here’s a flyer for more information.
