About the LRC Distance Program
This is a coached distance training program based out of a library in Lakeland, run by an RRCA-certified coach with deep roots in the local running community. Weekly long runs fan out in different directions, with the route shared in advance. Pace groups span a wide range, from faster runners down to walkers, and the group trains together through the weeks leading to a goal race.
The program covers a broad curriculum alongside the running itself, including fueling, form, strength work, and race-day strategy. Participants meet at the library for group runs, with volunteers distributed across the pace range. If you want a training partner at your exact pace, the coach suggests bringing a friend along.
