What is the LHR Training Program and How Will It Help Me?

The Longhorn Run Training Program is a free 10-week-long running program, designed to help you “Finish the Race” or “Finish Fast”. So whether you’re just starting to run or aiming to make this your fastest time, Coach Anthony Ferraro’s plans are here to help you achieve your goals.

Longhorn Run’s running coach, Anthony Ferraro, is certified by the American College of Sports Medicine, Nike, USA Track and Field, and the RRCA. He currently serves as the Strength and Conditioning Coach for Rogue Athletic Club, an Olympic development team in Austin, and has cared for athletes that participated in the 2016 Olympic Games and the 2016 British Steeplechase Championship.

You can always follow your own training plan for race day, but here are some of the perks of joining LHR in the training journey.

1. A Community of Support - We’re all rooting for you! We have a passion to see you succeed as much as you want it. By participating in the LHR Training Program you’re gaining a community of fellow Longhorns who also strive to accomplish their goals.  
   
2. Holds You More Accountable - By coming to the future Training Events and keeping up with the program, your fellow Longhorns will hold you accountable to what you commit to. This is great to ensure you’re staying on track and don’t get carried away along the journey.
   
3. Plans Your Success - Coach Anthony has taken care of the hardest part. He’s strategically created a program that will ensure your body has a balance between rest and challenge so you’ll run UT like a champ!
   
4. Pushes You Further - Training on your own can be very effective, but having Coach Anthony guide you through the journey ensures you’re completing the distance necessary to achieve your goal all while doing so safely. Pushing yourself through the training program will be the best challenge you decide to take on!
