Who says the Chicago running season has to end at the Chicago Marathon?  We think the best way to ensure a successful and fun 2012 running season is to build a strong base (and toughness) in the cold off season.  You might as well do it while having fun with a great group of friends with the same goals.  That's why we started our Winter Warriors Training Program.  Whether you just need a little extra accountability and motivation to get out the door during those cold winter months, or you have big spring time race goals, this program is for you!  This is also the perfect pre-program compliment for our Illinois Marathon and Half Marathon Training Program. More than anything we want to make it fun, safe, and beneficial for all runners/walkers and abilities levels.    

Winter Warriors kicks off on Tuesday, October 25 at 6:30 pm at Fleet Feet Sports Elmhurst.  The group will meet at the store every Tuesday evening at 6:30 pm and Sunday morning at 7:00 am through February 7th. Throughout the program we will offer clinics on various subjects including winter running apparel and the art of layering, cold weather muscle warm-up and stretching, off-season core strengthening, safety in dark and slippery running conditions, and tips for cold weather hydration.  And whats better than a hot cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or tea after a cold winter run?  That's why after every Sunday run the group will head over to a local coffee spot to warm up, relax and hang out together. 

The cost of Winter Warriors is $85 and includes an awesome Mizuno Running Jacket for each participant.  Sign up for BOTH the Winter Warriors and The Illinois Marathon or Half Marathon Training Program and Save!  Click HERE for details.
