Welcome to Fleet Feet Folsom & Roseville's Urban Cow 13.1 Training Program! Training for and completing a half marathon is a challenging and rewarding endeavor. Participants in our program benefit from our professional coaches, experienced mentors, and a daily training schedule with goal-specific workouts.

Training Schedule

The training is designed to increase week to week so you build slowly, steadily, and consistently toward your goals. 

Tuesday and Thursday workouts consist of intensity such as intervals, hills, and tempo to improve your fitness.   Saturday workouts are endurance building towards the goal race distance of 13.1 miles.  Your training schedule will include workouts for you to do on your own throughout the week, which will help you see more progress. If you cannot make a workout, you will have the schedule to continue to follow the plan. 

Education

Coaches and special guests will educate you in person and in Final Surge on topics such as warm ups, mobility, nutrition/hydration, injury prevention, how to prepare for race day, and more. They are also a resource and support for you along the way. 

Group Training Atmosphere

Enjoy the safety, accountability, information, and motivation that come from a coached group workout environment. We also have a private Social Wall in Final Surge for you to share, communicate, and get motivation from your fellow training members.
