What to Expect
Run Strong focuses on developing a well-rounded runner through a mix of:
• speed workouts
• hill training
• tempo runs
• interval sessions
• endurance-focused training
 
These workouts help runners improve efficiency, build stamina, and become more confident running longer distances.
 
Some runners in this group are preparing for half marathons or marathons, while others simply enjoy the consistency and challenge of structured training.
 
Sessions can be adjusted depending on how you're feeling that day, allowing you to train in a way that supports steady progress over time.
 
How it Works
You’ll meet two to three days each week for coached runs with runners who share similar goals.
 
Early week sessions focus on workout-based training, including intervals, hills, tempo runs, and speed development.
 
Saturday runs are informal community long runs where runners build distance together. These runs may not always be led by a coach, but you’ll receive guidance on how to structure and progress your long runs each week.
 
Outside of the runs, you’ll also have access to the Soul Runners community, where members share progress, ask questions, and support each other along the way.
Runs are led by certified coaches who keep things supportive, challenging, and enjoyable.
