TRAINING TILT PLATFORM FOR EVERYONE
The Training Tilt app is such a fantastic tool for remote trainers that Dave's is now including the app as an option for anyone in the program as another training resource. One of the most useful features in the Training Tilt 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 Team through the Training Tilt Platform.
BEGINNER HALF-MARATHON & 5K PROGRAMS
If you're aiming to complete your first half-marathon or 5K, Dave's Running Shop will help you reach the finish line with a detailed, 16-week training plan tailored for the Glass City Half-Marathon/Savage 5K. This plan gradually increases your mileage and helps you adapt to longer runs step by step, so you're prepared to handle the half-marathon or 5K on race day. There is also a run-walk option for the beginner half-marathon training plan with a dedicated run-walk coach.
Before 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.
