Twice a year, Second Wind organizes groups of runners to train for Fall and Spring marathons. Second Wind Running Club with Marathon & Beyond will provide training advice, well marked courses, maps, and water and sports drinks on the course. Below you’ll find the dates, locations, and planned mileage for each run. You do not need to be a Second Wind member to participate. But if this is the sort of thing you enjoy, join the club and help support the local running community.

A Marathon-day checklist for all of the things you might considering wearing, taking, and consuming for an out-of-town marathon.

Fall 2008 Marathon Training Group

Target Marathon:  Chicago Marathon on October 12

If you are planning to run a marathon in the Fall of 2008, the Second Wind Running Club's Marathon Training Group could be a great complement to your training schedule. The club is sponsoring organized long runs featuring courses with marked miles. Participants must be paid-up members of Second Wind. Runners and walkers are welcome at any or all of the runs. Each run will start promptly at 7:00 a.m. and the walkers should start at 6:00 a.m. You bring the legs and the wind, we’ll provide the maps, the water, the Gatorade, and the camaraderie. Club member Andrew Signor is coordinating the runs, with the help of various club members -- (help still wanted for a few runs).

The target marathon training is the  Chicago Marathon on October 12, but there are several other fall marathons and ultra-marathons. If you are training for a marathon other than one on the weekend of the target race, you can run with the training group and add or subtract a few miles as your schedule dictates. Below you’ll find the dates, locations, and planned mileage for each run.

All runs officially begin at 7:00 a.m.  Questions?  Email  Andrew Signor
