Marathon Training Groups

We invite you to join Coach Anna Heintz and the Eugene Running Company’s 2010 Portland Marathon/ Half Marathon Team as we prepare for the Portland Marathon held this year on October 10. The group will also build up to the inaugural Eugene Women’s Half Marathon on September 5th. This Team is for beginners and advanced marathoners/ half-marathoners. Group members enjoy the support and motivation of being part of a marathon team. Throughout the 18-week program, members will receive a training schedule, expert coaching advice and guidance, group long runs with aid stations, and a newly added feature this year: the option of a more advanced/performance-oriented training program for those looking to improve their overall performance. Participants also receive free team uniform shirts and 10% store discounts. Anna Heintz is an experienced marathon coach who has been coaching marathoners since 2007 in both Wisconsin and Oregon. She has run five self-coached marathons and two half marathons, qualifying for the Boston Marathon four times and the New York City Marathon twice. She currently coaches the Eugene Running Company’s Beginners’ Running Group as well as the Thursday Performance Group. This fall she will be teaching the Jog/Run PE class at the University of Oregon. The group meets at the Eugene Running Company every Saturday at 7:00 AM starting June 12th. Cost is $100.

Prepare to run or walk:  Women’s Half Marathon (9/5), Portland Full Marathon (10/10) or Royal Victoria Half or Full Marathon (10/10).
