MARATHON TRAINING

SATURDAY MORNING MARATHON TRAINING

Our Marathon training group meets starting on June 14th at about 7am at Lighthouse Beach for a 7:15 departure. Our leader and coach for 2025 is Tom Dubin.  Feel free to email Tom at tomdubin@comcast.net

The training targets the Chicago Marathon on October 12th, but many of us will run in other events.  Please let Tom know which marathon you are running this year.

We'll be using modified versions of the Hal Higdon training programs for "Novice" and "Intermediate" programs. You can find them here:

We mostly leave from Lighthouse Beach, but sometimes we have alternative starting points. Check your email for Tom's weekly updates

An important part of the training is hydration and nutrition. Thanks to our fellow club members we provide Gatorade and water along the route. Click the button below to volunteer to set up or take down our aid stations
