SUMMER/FALL PROGRAMS

FALL F.A.S.T (Fun And Smart Training)
WHAT: FALL FAST (Fun and Smart Training) is a 12 WEEK program for anyone interested in bettering themselves as a runner. Whether your focus is a 5k, 10k, 13.1, 26.2, or anywhere in between, FAST can help you achieve those goals. FAST is founded on the principals that your head coach, Brad Henz, learned through his tenure running at the national collegiate level at North Central College under the leadership of the legendary, Al Carius.

HISTORY of the PHILOSOPHY: Carius has built the winningest program in NCAA history in Cross Country and Track. Through Al’s philosophy of Run For Fun and Personal Best, Al showed that through hard work, dedication, and commitment, you can be a winner in life on and off the field.

WHO: FAST will be a program for you as an individual. Through tailored personalized programs based on your mileage, your abilities, and your goals, FAST, is designed to work with you to become the athlete you want to be. FAST does not care if you run a 4:00 minute mile or a 10 minute mile! This program is for YOU to achieve your personal goals! We do recommend that you are already running at least 3 days a week.

WHEN and WHERE: FAST will have a meeting on Tuesday, June 29th at 5:30pm at the Riverplex. This will be an informational, informal, get-to-know you gathering for the coaches and mentors to meet and talk with the athletes. The first official practice is Tuesday, July 6th, at 5:30 pm at Glen Oak Park (by the Tennis Courts across from Woodruff).

As a developmental program under the PATFC, part of your registration fee is going back to the program to benefit CHOICES and the youth of the city of Peoria.

There will also be opportunities to attend FREE clinics on Injury Prevention, Endurance Athletics, Running Technology, and more.

Cost per person for FALL FAST is $125. Must be a member of the PATFC. Questions: Contact Brad Henz at 309-360-7780 or email him at bhenz76@gmail.com
