Coach: Kelly Maurer

In 2009, when Charm City Run was coming to Annapolis, Kelly met Tom Mansfield. The excitement he had when he talked about the store and all they were going to do in the area was contagious. Kelly knew she wanted to be a part of it.

Over the next few years, Kelly and Charm City Run crossed paths not only on the roads and trails, but in other business partnerships. Finally in 2014, Kelly joined the Annapolis team as the coach for the marathon/half marathon training groups with the goal of growing the program. Kelly began working in the store and coaching more and more runners until she joined the team full time as the Director of Training Programs.

Kelly believes that Charm City Run is the definition of inspire. It is who we are, what we do, and how we interact with others. We are making a difference every day and she is proud to be part of the family.

When Kelly is not coaching, you will find her running countless miles or spending time with her husband Eric and daughter Amelia.

Description

Are you planning to run a  half marathon this next spring? Or another half marathon around the same time? This half marathon program is open to everyone from the runner attempting their first endurance event to the repeat competitive runner. Training can be individualized to your experience and goals. The program will prepare to race your best – whether you’re new to long distance running or a seasoned half marathoner.

The group will meet twice a week from December through March – once a week for speed workouts and once a week for long runs. Your expert coach will also provide you with a weekly training plan that will guide your preparation for your target half marathon. Along the way you’ll learn about about increasing your mileage, tempo runs, track workouts, hill workouts, recovery runs, nutrition, hydration, injury prevention, and much more.

Our winter half marathon groups start on December 16th* and will target the Shamrock Half Marathon in Virginia Beach on March 17th, 2024 or any other spring half marathon in the same time frame. Training plans can be adapted to your target race.

*Starting dates may vary by store location 

Requirements

To safely meet your goal we do ask that you have a base level of running under your belt before joining this group. What does that mean? We ask that at the beginning of the program you are able to run/walk 3-4 miles at one time and are currently running 10-15 miles per week. This does not mean you need to be able to run the entire way but just that you are comfortable covering that distance. Are you not sure if you meet these requirements? Don’t worry ask the coach for you location. You will be surprised that most people meet these requirements and are able to join the group.

What To Expect

  • Supported group runs and workouts twice a week with planned routes, hydration and companionship
  • Positive and welcoming atmosphere for runners and walkers of all levels

  • Weekly training plans – beginner and intermediate options

  • Access to expert coaching services and advice

  • Gait analysis with footwear recommendations

  • 10% store discount at Charm City Run

  • 15% off Charm City Run signature races
  • Nutrition, gear and injury prevention education

  • Altra training premiums
