The Pros Need Spring Training so why not you?
No matter where you are with your running, Spring in Houston is the best time to maintain or build your running base to get ready for the primary running season during the summer, fall and winter months. The weather is cooler which makes training a lot more tolerable especially if you are getting back into the running groove after winter months.

If you recently finished a fall or winter race, Springtime is also the best time to maintain your shape and improve your race times for the upcoming year.

Springtime is also a great time to work on improving your pacing and shorter distance race times from the 5K to 10 mile distance.

Our Spring Season includes training schedules to get in shape or train for any Spring or early summer race on your running calendar.  On most weeks we offer Saturday morning long runs, Tuesday morning interval workouts (track and hills), Tuesday evening intervals or training runs at Memorial Park (social, trail or intervals) and an occasional monthly, Sunday morning trail run at nearby local or state parks.

Our group running memberships are loaded with a ton of benefits to help maximize your engagement and results.  Not too mention you will meet and run with some great people who love the sport like you do!  Many lifelong friendships have been made in our 21 year history. 

Here's a quick rundown of what's included in our Spring Season:

• 12 weeks of training that runs from March 2, 2024 thru May 25, 2024.
• Saturday morning 6:30 AM, organized, fully-supported, coached long runs.
• Tuesday 5:15 AM interval workouts (track & hills). We alternate weeks between track and hill workouts to help improve speed, power, strength and running form yet minimize risk of injury.
• Tuesday 6:15 PM "Runapalooza" run from Memorial Park's Eastern Glades. Choose between a social run around Memorial Park's 3 mile loop, a trail run through wooded trails when weather permits or an interval workout (track or hills).
• Occasional, Sunday morning trail runs at beautiful local and Texas State parks like Kemah/Seabrook Nature Trails, Brazos Bend State Park, Huntsville State Park, Lake Livingston State Park, Stephen F Austin State Park, Lake Houston Wilderness Park, Double Lakes Recreation Area and more. Coach Michael is your tour guide on these peaceful, challenging and sometimes hilly, adventure runs.
• Brenham Bluebell Ice Cream 5K-10K-Half Group Road Trip on Saturday, March 23rd.  Take yourself for a test drive at this mid spring season race in the country with all you can eat ice cream at the finish line!
