Masters runners focus group
Finally, a training plan and group specifically designed for runners in their 50’s and 60’s
We’ve put together an amazing group of masters runners to help support your training and navigate all the changes and challenges as you get older.
Getting older doesn't mean you have to get slower or that you can't accomplish your goals!
Whether you’re looking to revitalize your training, get stronger and run injury-free, or just be a part of a group that “gets it”, our Masters Focus Group is just what you need.
We know your training needs change as you get older and that’s why we’ve designed a custom plan, coaching and group to help share your training and get your questions answered
By implementing an adaptive, long-term and intelligent training plan you can start running faster, stay healthy, and rewrite your personal record book.
The more miles you accumulate on your legs, the more important it is that your training plan be designed to maximize each step you take. More importantly, it must be adaptive to your recovery needs while still pushing your fitness threshold.
Through years of experience working with runners just like you, we’ve developed a unique coaching philosophy that utilizes first-hand experience, practical, research-driven knowledge, and customized training plans to help you succeed.
We’ve worked with countless runners who came to me after thinking age had finally got the best of them. Through intelligent and responsive training, we’ve helped almost all of them achieve their goals and redefine what they thought was possible.

Still Have Questions?
We’ll do our best to answer them here, but feel free to email support@runnersconnect.net if you have any questions not covered here.
No, no gym is needed. All strength, stretching and accessory work can be done at your home. We do have gym options for those that have one and want to use one, but it is not required.
The running schedule and strength workouts are delivered via our training app, which allows our coaches and you to track your progress and import/export to your favorite tracking devices. You can watch a video below about how this works.
Most likely yes. Our plans are custom, so we can work around any needs you may have. We’ve worked with athletes in 80 different countries and people from just starting out to Boston qualifiers. We also have worked with runners as old as 77.
This “focused training” small group operates like a class, so you can start anytime between now and when enrollment ends.
Once you signup you’ll receive instructions for how to access everything and start the interview process so our coaches can write your custom plan. It usually takes us about 24 hours to write your plan.
We understand that our live zoom calls won’t always work for you. However, we will take questions beforehand and have recordings of each meetup so you can watch whenever you have time.
We use our team of expert coaches to help answer your questions, adjust your training, and keep you accountable.
You can ask questions in our private stream, post questions when you log your workouts, and interact with us during the live calls.
You can also request feedback on any run or workout, even if you don’t have questions. We have a short video below that explains a bit more about how this works.
We get it, training rarely ever goes to plan. If you miss a day or need an adjustment our coaches are here to help realign your plan.
Plus, your schedule will constantly adapt your training to your progress. If we notice that you’re having an easy time with all of the workouts we prescribe, we’ll speed things up to ensure you’re challenged appropriately. If you’re struggling or you have an injury pop up – we’ll back off and get your training on the right track.
This focused training is designed to function like a small group class. Therefore, we want everyone to be pretty much on the same timeline.
If you’re really interested but not able to start one of theses sessions, drop us a line at support@runnersconnect.net and let us know.
How We Write & Deliver Your Custom Schedule

Strength Work Built Into Your Plan
Your training integrates strength work into your schedule – not just throws it on top. You’ll know exactly what you need to do each day of the week. Moreover, the strength work is progressive (building you up and not remaining static) and targeted to your specific race distance.
Explanations and Guidance for Every Workout
Each one of your workouts comes with a specific explanation of why you’re doing that session and an in-depth article on how to execute should you have any questions. This helps you understand how every run fits together and instills belief and confidence in your training.
Motivation, Accountability and Consistency to Stay on Track
Our platform helps to keep you motivated by connecting you to a support system of other runners like you who are there to encourage you after a tough workout, send a congrats after a new milestone, and keep you on track when you want to skip a run.
