Running Program

USA Fit Longview members are just like you. We each decided one day that we would like to get into better shape, to make new friends, and maybe run a 10K, half or full marathon! Some of us are just starting an exercise program, others have been exercising for a while running in races across the United States.  But regardless of the specifics, we all share one common goal - to have fun.

If you want to make new friends, get into the best shape of your life, and maybe even run that race you've always dreamed about, come out and join USA Fit Longview. Ask previous members, this is a non-intimidating environment, and we really do motivate people to get fit, and have fun.
The general format of USA Fit Longview is as follows:

• An organized training run each Saturday morning with a group of runners whose training pace is similar to yours. Each group is designated by a color - Blue, Yellow, or Red, depending on your pace.
• Educational seminars or lectures on training, stretching, nutrition or other related topics most  Saturdays  before our run to help you learn the fundamentals of successfully improving your fitness. The seminars will be held before our run.
• Lots of time for discussion with your color group members and instruction from your coaches each week before the training run.
• A schedule of training runs to be completed each week on your own, or if you choose, with other members of your color group.
• Organized speed training sessions once the group has built a sufficient training base to handle speed work safely and comfortably.
