Too often the off-season results in fitness loss, weight gain, and a significant hill to climb in the next year’s training.
This popular 10-Wk run program is perfect for runners of all levels looking to build a robust endurance foundation before commencing race-specific training in the new year, and for triathletes who want to strengthen their running before starting multi-sport training in the new year.
Competing in a spring marathon? Extend your training and prep for your race with a 24-week marathon preparation program.
The fall is a beautiful time to be outside and to work on limiters and skills! Improve your running technique, endurance, and speed. Head into 2024 with a firm running foundation and readiness to train for your chosen events.

Note: * This program is a USAT sanctioned event. As such, additional USAT waiver fees will be assessed by USAT for NON USAT members. USAT Sanctioning 1) provides the gold standard of insurance protection for the program, athlete, and venue and; 2) delivers athletes peace of mind by ensuring industry wide safety standards. Startline Coaching recommends all athletes become USAT annual members rather than pay individual program USAT waiver fees.
A credit card processing fee of 3% will be assessed if a credit card is used for payment. Zelle payments are available without a processing fee. Additional $15 USAT one-day waiver fee(s) will be assessed at program check-in for all NON USAT members. No refunds are available for this program.
