2008 SLTC Marathon Training Program

The St. Louis Track Club is pleased to announce the return of the highly successful

marathon training program. Ron Eisenberg (paz123@hotmail.com), along with Steve

Brady (bradyci@sbcglobal.net), will be coordinating the training program again. The

program is geared to prepare those interested in participating in almost any fall

marathon. Anyone wishing to join the program to stay in shape, enjoy long-run

camaraderie, or participate in any fall long-distance event is welcome. We meet for

coffee and nourishment after the runs. The program is free, but you must be a member

of the St. Louis Track Club and commit to attend at least 10 group runs. In addition,

you should meet the "Preliminary Training" guidelines outlined below before our first

group long run on June 28. To receive email notifications regarding the group runs,

directions, training tips, and other important information, you must register (for free) at
