Spring Goals = Winter Work

Spring goals are achieved in the heart of the winter. If you intend to run your FIRST or FASTEST race in 2024, you should start training now.

The Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon free Saturday Group Runs begin December 2 and continue up until race day. These meetups are a fantastic way to log a weekly long run. Whether you’re beginning by walking a few miles or already hammering out 20 milers, you can benefit from the accountability of the group to keep your motivation high.

The question then becomes “what should I do the rest of the week?”. Whether you download a plan from the internet, join a local training group, or hire a personal coach, you need to follow a consistent plan. If you’re not sure which approach is right for you, we’d like to invite you to test the RunKNOX waters for free for 2 weeks. Our official CHKM Training Cycle doesn’t launch until the week of December 17th , so you’re welcome to participate in any of our group workouts from now until then. Our current workout schedule is: Monday 5am on Cherokee Blvd, Tuesday 5:30pm from Tennessee Sports Medicine Group, Wednesday 5am at UT’s Tom Black Track, and our Saturdays at 8am will coincide with the CHKM Group meetup. Joining us for any of our group workouts will give you a glimpse into our philosophy, be an opportunity to ask questions, and introduce you to a great group of people whom you can share miles with over the coming months. Whether you choose to eventually join our program or not, you should be able to gain some value from a few trial runs with us. In addition to our in-person group program, we also have virtual training options, and personalized coaching packages. To learn more or sign up for a trial follow this link: RunKNOX Signup
