The physical and psychological benefits gained from this intensive training are truly remarkable. Here at Houston Fit, our goal is to safely bring these benefits to as many people as possible, including couch potatoes, Boston-qualifying athletes, and everybody in between.<\/p>\n

The program is simple, but powerful. Over 14 weeks, through safe and steady coaching, members progress from little or no running base to race condition. Members follow our carefully developed training schedule during the week, then on the weekends, the entire group meets for ability-based long runs. These group meetings are great for lots of reasons. First, they\u2019re a good chance to share the challenges and joys of training with others who are going through the same thing. Second, the weekly group meetings are important because members receive educational seminars on running or walking-specific topics that round out their training with essential practical and strategic information. Our emphasis is on safety and achievement, and we find that often, these meetings represent the beginning of many lifelong friendships. We hope you\u2019ll join us.<\/p>\n

Why it works<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the last two decades, we\u2019ve learned a lot about how to help people accomplish their goals. We bring together our members in a positive environment with other like-minded athletes, give them a carefully refined training structure to guide them, coach them skillfully, and watch the achievement happen. Participants show up each week to run, to support each other in a common goal, and to hold each other accountable. In these ways, USA FIT is more than a training schedule; it\u2019s a way of life that helps members thrive both on and off the track.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=\"3641\" img_size=\"large\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Our Running Training Program\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%23105677|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_column_text]USA FIT East Bay<\/strong>\u00a0runners form the backbone of our membership.
