Training Group Spotlight : Rogue Training Systems

Rogue Training Systems is kicking off 2010 by adding brand new training opportunities to our long list of successful, trusted running programs. Our mission is to create a solid and authentic community of athletes discovering a path, through running, that reaches their physical, mental & spiritual potential.

New in 2010 is Triathlon Running, coached by elite runner/triathlete Joe Thorne, who recently ran the second fastest marathon time at the Kona Ironman World Championships. Using a training schedule based around several of the most popular races, this group will meet twice a week and focus on the specific running needs of triathletes.

Another exciting addition for the new year is Darren Brown’s 10K PR class. Darren was the 2009 Capitol 10,000 champion and is also a three-time All-American and Olympic Trials Qualifier. He will bring his valuable experience as a professional runner to this program, which is geared towards runners or triathletes focused on breaking the 35, 40 and 45 minute barriers at the Capitol 10,000 or the Roundup.


Other upcoming training programs include:

Basic Training: Focused on beginners, the Basic Training program will prepare new runners for the slew of 5K and 10K races that happen during the spring. These groups meet three times per week for both running and strength workouts and include a number of educational seminars that teach everything from injury prevention to nutrition.

Zooma Austin Training: Rogue Training Systems is proud to offer the official training program for the 2010 Zooma Half Marathon & 5K on March 28th. This class will start at the beginning of January and will meet three times per week. The Zooma Austin Training Program is best suited for beginner runners focused on completing their first 5K or half marathon.

Team Rogue: This year-round program is ongoing and the best choice for committed runners focused on higher mileage and big goals. Each year the group chooses two marathons to attend as a team: one in the spring and one in the fall. Past trips have included the California International, Boston, Portland and Eugene marathons. Team Rogue meets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings for coached workouts and long runs. The focus here is running, but a number of triathletes have found coach Steve Sisson’s expertise a very good addition to their running component.

Cap Tex Tri Program: Although our core focus is running, each year we offer a short “cross training” triathlon program, coached by professional triathletes Amy and Brandon Marsh. This program is open to all levels.

Iron Chicks: Our other tri program (which has been around longer than Rogue itself!) is for women attempting their first triathlon. The group meets three times per week for swim, bike and run workouts.Iron Chicks will begin mid-March and continue until the Danskin Triathlon in June.



As always, we offer a variety of class days, times and locations so that you can fit training into your schedule. This convenience, combined with our expert coaches, proven training programs and an unbeatably motivating atmosphere full of like-minded athletes ensures that you will remain committed to your goals and that Rogue will get you to the finish line in 2010.
