On Sunday mornings, we run in groups based on pace, not distance.
Pace should be training pace (long run pace), not race pace. Although everyone in your group will run a similar pace, people may be running different distances. You’re never tied into a specific group. Feel free to move up or move down based on how you feel or how your training is going.
For the Fall 2021 Training Team season we will be offering the following pace groups:
A HUGE thank you to our volunteer pacers who love helping the running and walking community in St. Louis achieve their goals.
Note: R/W means run/walk. Each run/walk group varies their intervals but averages the listed pace.

While many people training for a half or full marathon focus on long runs and the endurance aspect of training, speed and pace work play a very important role and should not be overlooked! This Training Team season we are offering the option to participate in a structured weekly speed workout with the guidance of a coach. The workouts are designed specifically to improve performance for runners training for the half and full marathon distance. It’s much more fun to do speedwork with a group!
Wednesday Workouts will go from January 15 – March 18.
We will meet at Francis Park in South City. Warm up will begin at 6:30 p.m. with the workout starting at 6:45 p.m.
FREE for anyone who signs up for Training Team!

1993 – The year I found my passion for running. During my freshman year of high school, I decided to join the De Smet Jesuit High School track and field team. I initially intended to only run one high school season in preparation for wrestling, but quickly found myself enjoying the challenge of running. What started out as a 12 week commitment to the track and field team ended up as a 4 year high school career. I steadily improved over the course of 4 years of high school and ended up being a varsity runner during my last two seasons. While I was never the fastest runner on the team, it quickly became an important part of my life. I enjoyed the challenge and the constant pursuit of a new personal best. I ran occasionally while attending Truman State University but I took a break from serious training. I returned to the world of distance running in 2001 when I was hired as a teacher and coach at my alma mater, De Smet Jesuit High School. For the last 16+ years, I have had the honor to coach Cross Country and Track & Field. The relationships I build with the athletes year after year drive my passion for running.
Over the last several years, I have had the privilege to work with the Big River Training Team and thoroughly enjoyed coaching dozens of Training Team members. My experience as a runner, both in high school and over the last 15 years of road racing, enable me to help Big River’s Training Team excel. Throughout my running career, I have completed numerous 5ks, 10ks, and half marathons and eight marathons with my time ranging from 4:25 in my first ever marathon to my current PR, 3:11. I plan to apply the extensive knowledge and experience I have learned from my own racing to my work as a coach. I am thoroughly committed to helping my clients meet their running goals.
Bryan can provide training plans and on a case by case basis, one-on-one coaching.
