What is an ability-based color group?
Phoenix Fit consists of 5 groups: Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, and Purple (walkers). You will be placed in the group that best suits your training pace. For example, if you train at a 9-10 minute per mile pace, you will be a member of the Yellow group. This system works because it allows you to train with those who are at your ability level.

Get Fit Atlanta consists of six color coded pace training groups. Runners are divided according to speed into the Red, Blue, Orange, or Yellow groups if they are training for a marathon. The Purple group is the walking group and the Green group is the Half Marathon group. Most of our triathletes run with the Green Group unless training for the Ironman distance. This system divides our members into group according to their optimum endurance training pace. For example, if you train at a 8 minute per mile pace, you will be a member of the red group. This system works because it allows you to train with those who are at your ability level.

[top] • What color group will I be in? Our first two weekend runs are 1 or 3 mile pace finder walks or runs. Your time for the 1 or 3 miles will place you in a color group. You should walk or run at a pace where you feel you could keep going for a little bit beyond those 1 or 3 miles. If you couldn’t keep walking or running after completing our initial 1 or 3 mile pace finder then you are going too fast. [top] • Why should I walk or run my 1 or 3 mile pace finder slower when I can go faster? Simply because you are training for a marathon, not a 1 or 3 mile race. It may sound like a funny statement to make, but it is absolutely true. Walking or running too fast
