Our Chicago Marathon training journey kicks off on Monday, 5/30. It's a 20 week lead-up that's trusted and proven from the front of the pack through the charity athletes. 2021 marked a banner year for the Heartbreaker team led by Jonny Phillips who earned 18th overall in the race. Scoring top 20 in a world major race is an astounding feat for someone with a full time job (that is not "professional runner"). Jonny is a coaching consultant within our system that's lead by Global Head Coach Dan Fitzgerald and Chicago Head Coach Lucas Larson. Our training is trusted by world class organizations like the Red Cross, Joslin Diabetes Center, the Special Olympics, Cradles to Crayons, and many more. Some details:
