At Forerunners North Vancouver, we are pleased to offer a series of training programs designed by Coach Jerry Ziak . These programs range from "Learn to Run 10k", to speed and form work, through to half and full marathon training programs that target specific upcoming races.
Forerunners North Vancouver BMO Sunshine Coast April Fool's Run 1/2 Marathon and Speed Work "Bridge" Clinic
Special 6 week Half Marathon Clinic begins this Sunday and Thursday at the North Vancouver Forerunners location. This clinic will prepare you for the scenic BMO Sunshine Coast April Fool's Half Marathon on April 1st and will act as a bridge to our Scotiabank Half Marathon Clinic.
The training involved for this clinic will, necessarily, need to be accelerated compared to our regular clinics that normally last 12 weeks or more. We'll be starting with 12 km easy this Sunday morning (at 8:00) and we'll jump up to 15 km easy for next Sunday. We would only recommend that you participate in this clinic if you have already been running regularly for 10 km or more. However, Thursday night speed workouts (at 6:30) are appropriate for anyone capable of running around 30 minutes continuous.
If you are interested in joining us for this clinic, the cost will be $40 for all 12 sessions (6 Sundays and 6 Thursdays) or $25 if you'll be attending only Sunday mornings or only Thursday nights. As always, if you're not able to attend these workouts on a regular basis you?re welcome to drop-in any time for $5.
Clinic entry entitles you to a race entry at the early bird price of $25. For more information, please contact the store at (604)982-0878, or email ken.greenaway@forerunners.ca

Forerunners North Vancouver Scotiabank 1/2 Marathon and Speed Work Clinics
Forerunners North Vancouver is pleased to announce the start of our 12 week Sunday Morning Long Run and Thursday Night Speed Work Clinics on April 1st and 5th respectively.
Whether you are training to complete your first 1/2 marathon, looking to improve on your past performances, or trying to increase your ability to run efficiently at a full range of different paces, you will find a training program to suit your needs at Forerunners.
The Sunday morning long runs will be led by the experienced coaching duo of Damien Pearson and Tiiu Vaartnou. The sessions begin at 8:00 A.M. and consist of long easy runs (building progressively in distance from 10 km to 20 km over the 12 week period) and 1/2 marathon goal pace workouts.
The Thursday evening speed workouts will be led by 2:17 marathoner and full-time running coach Jerry Ziak. The sessions begin at 6:30 P.M. and consist of interval, fartlek, and hill workouts that focus on a range of speeds that are faster than 1/2 marathon pace. In short, the Sunday sessions train you to complete the distance while the Thursday workouts train you to be able to run the distance faster.
The specific focus of these clinics will be to prepare participants for the Scotiabank 1/2 Marathon on June 24th. In partnership with the organizers of this event as well as shoe and apparel sponsor Asics we are happy to offer the following clinic packages:
