NEW IN 2025!!! TRAINING TILT PLATFORM FOR EVERYONE

When the pandemic hit in 2020, Dave's Training Programs added an online training option, and it has flourished over the last 4 years. The Training Tilt app is such a fantastic aid for remote trainers that Dave's is now adding the app to the entire program as another tool for your training. One of the most useful features in the Training Tiit app is the interactive training calendar where you can sync your Strava account or Garmin device.

 

The Dave's REMOTE TRAINERS will receive weekly coaching advice and encouragement from Dave's Training Director.

BEGINNER HALF-MARATHON & 5K PROGRAMS

If you're looking to complete your first half-marathon or 5K, Dave's Running Shop will get you to the finish line with a detailed, 16-week training plan geared toward the Glass City Half-Marathon/Savage 5K. This training plan will gradually build your mileage and assist you in getting used to the longer training runs incrementally, so you are ready to tackle the half marathon or 5K distance by race day.

 

Prior to the start of the training program, you will receive a welcome email regarding the logistics. Best of luck and thanks for allowing Dave's Running Shop the opportunity to coach you.
