FastForwardSports | Colorado's Training Resource Network

Join FastForward for a fun-filled summer of group training and prepare for one or more fantastic local or travel races. If you are in pretty good 5K or 10K shape by the end of May, then you will have plenty of time to prepare properly for your goal this fall. If you have not been running, then you will have ample time to train at your own pace without any pressure to race, then you can decide later in the summer if you wish to sign up for a race or simply enjoy the health and fitness benefits.

Boulder Training

FastForward Sports will conduct an outstanding Program for runners looking to build endurance, strength and speed in order to run ‘official’ F4 races from half to full marathon, your choice of races this fall, or simply enjoy feeling fit and healthy! Runners of similar ability meet weekly with their assigned coach and pace group, and may also attend up to two additional workouts per week. Course-specific training schedules are developed by experts and then tailored by hand-picked coaches to a full range of athletes with a variety of experience and goals. Coaching is provided in-person as well as online, and runners access their training schedule, journal, and Club message board through FastForward’s simple-to-use “Member’s Only” site.

Who? Runners looking to “train” in a professional and fun-filled environment for their 13 to 26 mile goal. Those currently in the TRI Program will have the opportunity to join mid-season after completing their goal TRI race.
What? Participants will enjoy a wide variety of weekly Group Workouts, led by handpicked and professionally trained coaches. All athletes will enjoy a customized training schedule, personalized coaching, group support and accountability… all wrapped up in a non-intimidating, welcoming, and fun atmosphere!
When? June 14th – October 19th. See chart below for Weekly Group Workout Schedule

Summer 2008 Official FastForward Events:
Over the past few years, we’ve learned how much fun it is to train as a ‘team’ throughout the summer AND celebrate our fitness together at one of our ‘official’ races to cap off the season. If however, you’d rather use F4 training to help you prepare for your own race, then you’ll still enjoy all the program benefits, along with some minor modifications to your schedule after discussing your goals with your coach.

The below local and travel events will be staffed by F4 Coaches and attended by many other F4 athletes. You will be able to select one of them as your ‘peak’ race and your training schedule will be designed accordingly. All are ‘optional’ and it is not expected that you will be available to attend them all.

June 26th- West End 3K (training race)
July 31st - Pearl Street Mile (training race)
September 21st- Boulder Half Marathon (formerly Boulder Backroads)
October 5th- The Portland Marathon
October 19th

- The Other Half in Moab, UT

- The Denver Marathon or Half Marathon

Online/ Remote

We recognize not everyone is able to enjoy the in-person training offered by FastForward Sports. Perhaps you don’t live convenient to our Boulder or Denver workout locations, or are simply too busy to fit your training into our meeting schedule. Either way, we are happy to have dozens like you each season that “join” a group, receive a training schedule, and have access to a real coach via e-mail (or phone) to answer questions and provide encouragement and helpful tips throughout the season.
