Austin/Houston Marathon & Half Marathon Information Session - Saturday, August 27th
Aug 13, 2011
Mark you calendars for Saturday, August 27th at 9:30 AM to join us in the Gazelle Training Center at RunTex Riverside for information on training with Gilbert's Gazelles for the 3M, Houston and Austin Marathon/Half Marathons as well as our other monthly groups.
Former NCAA Champion and world renowned running coach Gilbert Tuhabonye will cover topics such as weekly mileage, following the training calendar, pace runs, core workouts, and hydration. Hundreds of local runners ranging from long-time veterans to those who just bought their first pair of running shoes have joined our tried and true methods and captured Gilbert’s philosophy of running with joy and staying injury-free.
Training under the Gazelles programs will provide you an exciting group dynamic experience while gaining understanding of training philosophy, race strategy, nutrition, and more! Our workouts include various runs throughout downtown and west Austin, incorporating hills, intervals, pace runs, tempo runs, and long runs while also building a strong core. Groups meet three times per week - twice during the week and on Saturday for the long run. Joining the Gazelles also means you get to enjoy the benefits of six free weekly core classes, a yoga class, nutrition and injury-prevention clinics, discounts at RunTex and on Gazelle apparel, access to on-site physical therapists, and on-going video analysis of your running form!
The start date for all of these programs is Monday, September 5th. Class time options are Monday/Wednesday at 5:45, 7:30 and 9:15 AM and Tuesday/Thursday at 5:45 AM/5:30 PM with all groups meeting on Saturdays at 6 AM for the long runs.
