THE WALKING TEAM (PURPLE GROUP)
Welcome to all of you who want to walk a marathon or half marathon! We want to help you SUCCEED in accomplishing your goal and to do it in a fun and safe manner.
The walking division of USA Fit NYC is known as the Purple Group and we are glad that you have chosen to join us!
TRAINING
Since 1989, USA Fit programs across the USA and beyond have helped people achieve their marathon goals. We are proud to have a walking group and have worked hard to create a program that will help walkers train with less risk of injury and improve speed and performance. We're sure that you will like our program and that you will be pleased with the benefits it will bring.
WEEKLY SEMINARS
We include seminars that pertain to both runners AND walkers that will educate and inspire you. You will hear from a variety of experts on many subjects including nutrition, injury prevention, clothing, etc. We urge you to join us before each Saturday walk to learn more about these and other topics.
DISCUSSION FORUM
A great way to stay in touch with your fellow members and to keep up with what's happening in our group is to sign up in our Discussion Forum. We will use this forum to inform members about last minute rain-outs or any other changes. Getting involved in this forum is strongly suggested and it will be a lot of fun. Take a peek at what's going on and feel free to participate.
IN SUMMARY
We look forward to working with each you over the next six months to set and achieve your goals whether it be a faster marathon time or just getting off the sofa and walking! Our walkers come from all experience levels but we all have one thing in common - to reach a walking goal. We will be pleased to help you succeed!
