50 for 50 NYC Marathon Training Program
20 Week Training Starts 6/21/21
We are thrilled that you are considering Terrier to help you achieve your race & charity goals. Since 2005 Terrier has worked with charities across the country to create fun & engaging training while raising money for meaningful causes. Terrier's founder Robert Pennino is known for his involvement in charity coaching & management. He is the original instructor of Cycle For Survival (since 2007), multisport events for St. Judes, and currently produces events for new charities such as Dogs Trust USA.
This is Terrier's 16th year designing a Fall marathon running program, privileging the New York City race. This year, the coaches have put together a diverse and extensive LIVESTREAM & IN PERSON schedule that hones athletic performance while building memorable camaraderie. Central Park is an invaluable resource for metropolitan runners, and this program intends to forge a relationship between its participants and the Park's unique splendor. It's not just about the race, but the terrain you explore along the way, both within your self and the environment you share.

What level am I?
The levels can change over the course of the program. No matter the level, Terrier has historically guided its participants to the finish line healthy & happy!
Beginner: 0-10 miles per week. This schedule is for first timers, walker/runner or runners who feel more comfortable with lower mileage.
Intermediate: 10-25 miles per week. Most runners will fall into this category, and abilities will vary. First timers and veterans will feel comfortable with this schedule while also pushing a bit more aggressively at times.
Advanced: 30+ miles per week. This is a schedule designed for experienced runners who are looking for a PR.
Communication
Maintaining regular communication with your coach helps keep you accountable and focused. Terrier communicates with program participants in two main ways: website, and direct email. We have a web page dedicated to the program, which lists training schedules and any relevant training tools and posts. This page is updated every week. Questions can be email to terrierfit@gmail.com
Kickoff Meeting
Sunday evening, June 20th 7:00pm, livestream on Zoom.
Training for an endurance event can be a challenge, and no one ever said it was easy! However, consistency is key! Try to attend the LIVESTREAM sessions as much as possible in order to get the most out of the program. This meeting will cover what to expect with training, and answer any questions participants may have.
