Coach: Jenny Buschmann
Running has always been a part of my life. I took my first steps at one of my Dad’s races in Baltimore.
I’m a mom of four kids, ages 17-9. My life is one crazy, loud, fun, moment to the next. Running gives me time for me, and time with friends who love it just as much as I do. When I’m not running, or being Mom, I love reading, watching Bravo tv shows, spending time with friends, and drinking beer.
I’ve run everything from 5Ks to ultra marathons. I’ve run 29 half marathons, 8 full marathons, and 3 ultra marathons. I love setting a goal and trying my hardest to reach that goal, while also having fun.
I love a good solo run, but joined a Charm City Run Ultra Marathon Training group in 2017, and have never looked back. The people I’ve met are amazing, supportive, and have become some of my best friends.
I joined the Charm City Run Bel Air store in the fall of 2018, and became an RRCA certified coach this year. I’m so excited to coach, help others reach their goals, and develop a love for running.

Description
Are you planning to run our St. Michaels Half Marathon? Or another half marathon around the same time? This training 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 February through May, 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 spring half marathon groups start February 22nd and will target the St. Michaels Running Festival Half Marathon on May 17th. 2025 or any other late 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.
