If your goal is to Qualify for the Boston Marathon, Kenyan Way can help. The summer training programs, weekday track and the Saturday morning marathon program all provide training schedules designed to make you a faster marathoner. Let us know which marathon you are training for and we will provide you a schedule. Marathon training schedules are also available through Kenyan Way On-line Coaching and Kenyan Way One-on-One Coaching.
If you Already Qualified for the Boston Marathon we have a Boston Marathon Training Schedule specifically designed to prepare you for the extremely challenging course. You must train specifically for running both up hills and down hills. Running down hill really fatigues the legs if you do not prepare properly. Preparing for down hill running is quite a challenge in Houston. Fortunately we have the bayou in downtown Houston to help simulate the hills of Boston. We also recommend doing some long runs on League Line Road.
The Boston Marathon schedule includes hills and track work one day per week and a weekly long run that will also include hill repeats spread throughout the run. The 10 week program begins in February and ends with the Boston Marathon.
