About This Clinic

Beginning Wednesday, September 3rd, train with Forerunners North Shore through the fall as we build towards the Victoria Marathon/Half Marathon on October 12th and the Great Trek Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k on October 25th. This clinic includes Wednesday evening workouts meeting at the store at 6:20 pm, a detailed training schedule, a weekly workout newsletter, and email access to Coach Jerry. Saturday morning club runs are free of charge. Coach Jerry will not be in regular attendance, but he will organize these runs with maps and directions. These runs will depart from various locations around the North Shore, as well as Stanley Park, at 8:00 AM. Communication between club members will be encouraged using our WhatsApp and Strava groups. With only 6 weeks to prepare for Victoria and 8 weeks for the Great Trek, your long run build up should be well on its way (ideally, up to around 14 or 16 km) by the beginning of September. However, regardless of your personal situation, Coach Jerry can help you figure out how to get to the start line of your event as safely as possible.
