Annual Training Program
Our annual training consists of three running, jogging or walking workouts per week from early January to mid-December. Training for fun and fitness is our central focus, helping us sustain the discipline of regular exercise for lifelong health and fitness.
Our 3-Phase Annual Program
New Year Basic Fitness Training (Jan-May) Our athletes of all experience levels renew their yearly health and fitness commitment. Seven benchmark races build from 8K to 21K distance. Learning focuses on racing skills and knowledge. The program is rich enough for 20-year veterans to still derive value from repeating annual workouts and races.
Summer Strengthening (Jun-Jul) Our focus is on building muscle strength in preparation for the long-distance rigors of the coming marathon season, with one off-road fun-run race, and no scheduled road races. We employ hilly and grassy courses, forest trails, and elastic bands to build new skills and habits our athletes can use throughout the program year.
The BC Endurance Mile-to-Marathon Training (Aug-Dec) The Honolulu Marathon, the Kalakaua Merrie Mile, and Start-to-Park 10K in early December provide the impetus for increased mileage during the fall training season. Added mileage also serves as a base for our training and racing during the next program phase, beginning in the new year.
Workouts
Members meet in person for workouts three times a week. If they are unable to attend a weeknight workout, they can train from a more convenient location, while connected to their group and a workout facilitator via Zoom-audio. The facilitator gives instructions and leads discussions, while veteran location directors, group leaders, and mentors support newcomers.
3 Weekly Workouts
We train in face-to-face groups every Monday and Wednesday evening from 5:30-7:30 p.m., and on Saturday mornings from 7-10 a.m.
4 O‘ahu Locations
For convenience, Monday and Wednesday evening workouts will be located at four O’ahu locations: West, Central, Windward, and Honolulu.
