EXCLUSIVE: Meet the Founder of Team In Training

"We were really flying blind.  We didn't know what would happen at the end.  All of these elite runners were telling us what to do - and it seemed to be working - but we didn't know what would happen when it actually came to the marathon."  

- Bruce Cleland

New York City Marathon, 1988

Little did Bruce Cleland know, 25 years after his uncertainty in getting 38 friends together to run a marathon and raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) that his idea would become more than a physical fitness challenge - it would become a way of life.  Team In Training is now a fixture in all major endurance events around the world.  Cleland, widely regarded as the father of charity endurance training programs and founder of Team In Training, is credited with creating a program that has guided more than 570,000 runners, walkers, hikers, bikers and swimmers to raise more than $1.3 Billion for LLS.
