From the Organizer
This 16-week group training program is lead by Elizabeth Morgan, RRCA certified running coach. The plan is geared toward training long-distance runners living in the Shenandoah Valley who are seeking to participate in the 2026 Richmond Half Marathon and Full Marathon. The training program provides assistance with developing healthy running habits, figuring out how and when to apply stress, incorporate cross-training, active recovery, and rest days.
The half and full programs include in-person training days, however, runners may follow the plan virtually.
The plan accounts for the hilly course Richmond promises and incorporates in-person running group events around Shenandoah Valley, including fierce climbs with Shenandoah Trail Runners, Thursday evening fun runs with Runners' Retreat, the Winchester Saturday morning group, and recovery walks with Front Royal’s very own FR Front Runners.
Runners may add a personalized option via TrainingPeaks, which includes a fitness assessment survey and a 30-minute virtual consultation with Coach Elizabeth. The program can be automatically uploaded to your watch via TrainingPeaks. The personalized option allows the coach to modify your training plan as needed to accommodate your availability and lifestyle.
All paces welcome.
Program begins 27 July, 2026.
