Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie's 2026 Fall Half Marathon Training Program

We're launching our official half marathon Fall training program to get ready for the Rhinebeck Fall Foliage half marathon, which takes place on Saturday, 9/26. Training will begin on Monday, 7/13. 

This training program isn't just about logging miles in an app or checking a workout off your list. It's a full wellness journey. Yes, we're going to get you physically ready to crush those 13.1 miles. But running is only one piece of the puzzle. We're focusing on the whole athlete—and the whole human.

Every week, alongside our group runs, we will introduce and tackle one foundational healthy habit together. We’ll dive into things like:

• Sleep: Consistently hitting that 8–9 hour sweet spot so your body actually recovers.
• Nutrition: Realistically crowding out the junk by adding more whole foods and vegetables to your plate.
• Hydration: Moving past "forgetting to drink water all day" to truly fueling your muscles and joints.

Whether you're looking to finish your very first half marathon or set a personal best on the course, you'll cross the finish line as a stronger, healthier, and more balanced version of yourself.

Before signing up, read the training program details below carefully. If you still have questions about the program, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at info@fleetfeetpoughkeepsie.com. Please don't call the store with questions. Our outfitters aren't involved in managing our training programs and are busy helping folks find the perfect gear!
