beginner running programGet 2025 off to a “running start” with our 18 week Launch Program!

We have found that runners who are new to the sport of running really need the coaching and the accountability of a training group to help them start off on the right foot, avoid injury and grow with the sport.  In Flight Running was built on making the beginner runner who is just getting started, feel welcome by training in a non-intimidating environment.

If you are just starting your running journey or are returning to the sport after a break, we can help you get off the launch pad with our LAUNCH beginner program.  Launch starts early in the year on January 25, 2025.  Get back in the running groove or learn the sport from the ground up and gain the confidence you need to excel.

Train with us and learn the sport with welcoming and supportive coaches and teammates that will keep you on track and heading towards your first or next finish line.

If you are a beginner runner training at any distance, our 18 week Spring Launch program is the best starting point for most.  Kick off the new year with a run coaching program that will get you in great shape and running strong before you know it. Launch kicks off on Saturday, January 25, 2025 and runs through May 24, 2025.

We welcome beginner runners year round, but if the timing of our Spring Launch Program doesn’t work for you, consider our 13 week Spring Season (starts March 1, 2025), our 35 week Prime Season (starts June 14, 2025) or our Year Pass Option. Year pass bundles Spring & Prime seasons for an entire year of training and coaching at our best possible pricing.  Check out the program summaries below with links to become a member or learn more about each training season option.

Spring SeasonMarch 1 – May 24, 2025  This 13-week, group training program welcomes runners of every skill level who are just learning the sport or already training for race distances from the 5K to the marathon.  Our spring program includes a Tuesday morning or evening interval workout, Saturday morning group run and an occasional Sunday morning trail running road trip to nearby Houston, Texas or Federal Parks.  Spring is also a great time to build a solid base so you can really go places with your running during our Prime season and get ready for Summer, Fall & Winter races.

Year Pass Season – March 1, 2025 – February 7, 2026 – Year Pass Season bundles our Spring and Prime Seasons together for an entire year of run coaching, training, group runs and support for our best value.
