Pinnacle Training Systems: The Scientific Approach to Your SuccessPinnacle Training Systems continues it’s legacy in 2012 as an official training partner for the Eye-Q California Classic Half Marathon. Last year, we successfully brought many first-time half marathoners across the finish line, as well as helped many experienced runners shave minutes off of their personal records. Pinnacle Training Systems also boasts multiple top placements in the 2011 race! This year, you too can run your FIRST or FASTEST race with the most scientific-based training program in the Central Valley: Pinnacle Training Systems.
GROUP Training?Don't let the term "group training" throw you. Pinnacle Training Systems doesn't put you into a "one size fits all" running group to help you reach the finish line. Our programs are scientifically put together so that each and every runner can progress at his or her own pace. The group atmosphere provides excellent accountability and gives the runner a great opportunity to learn from others and make some new friends, but the program itself is based on the scientific principle that each athlete is different and progresses as a different pace than others.
Participants Receive:
- FOUR (4) levels of training to choose from, based on your experience and current mileage
- FOUR (4) total weekly scheduled runs, each with its own scientific purpose, 2 of which are trainer-led group runs
- Bonus weekly run with Pinnacle Running Club
- Access to Member's Only Online Training Forum
- Weekly Pro Training Tips Based on Current Research
- Heavily researched educational seminars delivered by highly qualified speakers
- 2012 PTS Marathon Team Technical T-Shirt by Asics!
- 1 Vo2 Max Test (A post-race followup test can be purchased at a discounted rate!)
- Discounts on other PTS Services, including physiological testing
- Team pre-race pasta dinner

Program designed by:Felicia Gomez, Ph.D. &
Amanda Stetler, MALive out of town but want to train like a pro? PTS has the solution for you!
