About San Jose Fit
About the Training
Even if you’ve never run a step before, training with our group will help you conquer mental and physical barriers you never thought possible. We start wherever you are. Couch potato? Seasoned marathoner? Great. No matter what your conditioning or pace, there will be others to train with. Over the course of six short months, our coaches will help achieve your personal best in a non-intimidating, fun, and safe environment.
24 weeks isn’t that long, especially when you are achieving a common goal with friends. The even greater benefit is what happens when you conquer your own personal challenges. Our members are fitter, happier, and mentally stronger than they’ve ever been before. Through this training, people change their lives forever. Come on and join us!
Hear what our members have to say about San Jose FIT
Trainees of similar fitness levels and goals meet weekly for 6 months, building their mileage fitness and confidence until their target race takes place. Members follow detailed training schedules independently during the week, and on the weekends they converge for coached group training and educational seminars.
We provide a straightforward and safe approach to training. At the center of our remarkable programs are our pace coaches. All of our pace coaches began as San Jose FIT members. They are experienced runners and walkers who help members navigate through the training and eventually to the marathon or half marathon. For those who are just starting to walk or run, we have a non-intimidating training environment. For the more experienced runners, we provide advanced training that guarantees improved performance. Regardless of your fitness level, we promote camaraderie within our community which turns into life-long support and friendships. And that right there is a win-win!
Each year our members and coaches dedicate their time to community outreach. Some of the amazing programs that we have had the privilege of working with are Girls on the Run, Susan G Komen walk for breast cancer, OAR, Food pantries around the communities to name a few.
