teammac, located in Austin, Texas, is a team of 30 dedicated runners.
They focus on both a fall marathon and a spring marathon, and spring training always includes a program for Boston each year. During the summer, they spend time on the track, working on getting faster and they change up their competition schedule by competing at track meets. Members of the team have different distance specialities from 5K to ultra marathons.
