Virtual Marathon Training with the New York Flyers

As the retail director of a New Jersey running company with several branches, Jennifer Heiner-Pisano works closely with the company’s founders to handle business development, inventory control, and hiring. An avid runner herself, Jennifer Heiner-Pisano has organized several training runs with the New York Flyers club.

Established more than 30 years ago, the New York Flyers club aims to provide connection and support for runners of all experience and skill levels. In addition to organizing weekly group runs in Central Park, the club operates a Marathon Training Program to help prepare runners for longer races. This year’s virtual training program encourages Flyers to stay connected and fit by participating in suggested weekly training runs, along with personal suggestions. Participants in the training program also benefit from weekly calls with a group coach who can address any specific training concerns.

The training program culminates with a virtual half or full marathon on Saturday, October 31st. Participants receive a bib, course map, and suggested time window so that other Flyers can cheer them on along the race route.
