GTD Running Club
Going the Distance provides coaching for runners from over 10 running clubs. We also coach many runners who are not affiliated with a club.
In 2010, we joined USA Track & Field (New England) to support the many things USATF-NE does to improve our sport, from course certification and officiating, to organizing programs in road running, track & field, cross-country, mountain/ultra/trail running and more. We encourage you to become a member and renew your membership each year. You may join online at the USATF website here, or you may go to the USATF-NE website here and print out a form and mail it in.
If you are not affiliated with a club or you want to be a member of GTD as well as another club, we encourage you to join us. How do you join the GTD running club? It's easy. You can do any or all of the following:
-- when you become a member of USATF-NE, indicate that your club is #324, Going the Distance
-- buy a GTD singlet and wear it to workouts, races, and runs
-- use the GTD coaching program and tell others about it
Please note that the Going the Distance running club does not hold meetings and there are no club membership dues. We do "meet" often on the track and other workout venues, and GTDers "meet" for many group runs.
Please note also that you do not have to "join" GTD to use the Fernando Braz coaching service. Fernando welcomes the opportunity to coach runners from all clubs and runners who are not affiliated with a club. Remember -- it's all about running.
Saucony

Coach Fernando Braz works with athletes whose goal is to win races. And he works with athletes whose goal is to finish a race.
In the Fall program, there were 14 different pace groups for participants who were training for road races and conditioning.
And there were 11 different pace groups for those training for a marathon.
Each week Coach Braz put together 25 different workouts to meet the need and pace for all levels of runners in the program.
Would you fit in one of those 25 groups?
