Dave’s Winter Warriors Training
Monday, January 4 to Sunday, February 28, 2021, at 5700 Monroe St. in Sylvania, Ohio. Are you looking for something different to kick off 2021 with a “new year, new you” resolution? Dave’s Running Shop is offering a low-intensity, 8-week winter running and/or walking conditioning program. It is designed to keep you moving through the winter months and prepare you for the upcoming spring racing season.
The program includes two official group practices: Mondays at 6:30 p.m. at Dave’s Running Shop in Sylvania; and Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. at the Shops at Fallen Timbers (on causeway behind Red Robin).
Unable to make the meeting days but want the accountability and coaching to keep you going through the winter months? The Dave’s Remote Program option is another way for you to train and stay active throughout the winter months. Our remote program is powered by a fully operational online platform from Training Tilt and offers a robust online experience.
Dave’s MIT – Spring ’21
Monday, January 4 to Sunday, April 25, 2021. Dave’s Marathon Training Group gives you the benefit of personal coaching through a training plan designed to enable you to achieve your goal. The Marathon and half-marathon program will begin Monday, January 4, 2021. The Mercy Health Glass City Marathon will be the focus of all the programs offered. Each program will have different pace groups to meet your needs and assigned coaches for each group. Come out and join hundreds of other runners just like you, and let Dave’s Running help get you to the finish line.
We will be meeting in-person with the necessary social distancing and safety precautions in place, as approved by the Lucas County Health Commission.
Our newest offering is something we have had in the works, and the pandemic has made this the perfect time to unveil Dave’s Running Shop’s Remote Training. Dave’s training programs now offer an alternative to our in-person training for those who may not feel comfortable running with others at this time, runners who prefer to train on their own or may not be able to meet on the official training days due to a hectic schedule, as well as runners from around the country looking for expert training support.
Dave’s remote training includes our full program online, offering everything that the in-person program does except for the official in-person group sessions. Dave’s Remote Spring MIT program is powered by the Training Tilt online platform that has a robust online experience to accommodate all of your training needs and allows for interaction with coaches and other runners in the program.
