SPECTRUM FITNESS/MULTISPORT FITNESS
CRESCENT CITY CLASSIC
TRAINING PROGRAM

Spectrum Fitness and Multisport Fitness are please to be offering an 8 week run training program for the April 3, 2010 Crescent City Classic in New Orleans. The plan will begin the week of February 8, 2010. One of the world’s great 10K races, the Crescent City Classic is an Easter Weekend Tradition, not only in New Orleans, but in the world. It runs on a flat, fast, 6.2-mile course that lends itself to world records as well as those who just want to get some exercise. Whether you are an experienced runner seeking looking to set a new personal record or a newbie who is looking to complete your first 10K, our goal is to help you to reach yours.  The Crescent City Classic programs are based on your current running status. With this program, you will receive:

*Weekly workout schedules—these will be provided to you via e-mail upon signing up for the program. The programs are based on your current running ability. Should you see that the program that you’ve been provided is too easy or difficult as we move towards race day, it may be modified in order to help you reach your goals.

*Coached group run training sessions—at present, these will be held on early morning weekend days (Saturday or Sunday) with the day to be determined though a mid-week run may be scheduled depending on need. The place to begin and end the runs will be changed from time to time in order to keep the runs interesting and in order to accomplish the goal of the run.  

*A technical shirt—these will be ordered after we have everyone signed up.

*Spectrum membership to Spectrum Southdowns for the period of the program for non-Spectrum members—a list of all participating in the training programs will be provided to Spectrum and they will process getting the non-members into their system as soon as possible to provide access to the Spectrum Clubs.


*Advice on clothing, shoes, and nutrition, training and racing shall be provided.  Upon request, a strength-training plan will be provided to assist with your running and fitness.

*The cost of the 8-week program is $60.00/person. The 8-week program will begin the week of February 8, 2010. Those currently participating in the Spectrum Rock n’ Roll Mardi Gras Marathon and ½ Marathon training programs may enroll in this program for $40.00.
