Summer/Fall Training Group (Roads)
The Capital Striders Summer and Fall Training Group is designed to prepare runners of all skill levels for the fall racing season. Whether you’re training for the IMT Des Moines Marathon or Half Marathon, running shorter distances, maintaining a base or just want to meet fellow runners, this training group is for you. All paces are welcome, encouraged and will be supported along the route.
Saturday morning training group runs will follow the training plan outlined below. Capital Striders’ membership is encouraged but not required to participate in the training group. Your membership helps cover the cost of water, Gatorade, and other expenses required to host these activities.
