5k Training
Challenge yourself to complete a 5K! The benefits of exercise are many, with the most important being: improved cardiovascular health, improved bone health, improved mood and better coordination. The program focuses on beginners, but all levels of walkers and runners are welcome. Along the way we’ll be providing you with motivation to keep you moving, guidance and advice, weekly group training runs or walks, and educational clinics on topics such as proper nutrition, choosing the right gear, and avoiding injury. Plus, you’ll have the camaraderie of others just like you. Sign up today to run your first 5K and commit to making a life change.
10k Training
The goal of the 10k training program is to help beginner runners complete their first 10K or intermediate runners achieve their 10K time goal. The training calls for a combination of speed and endurance. That means you'll have tempo/speed runs to help run cadence; longer runs to increase your base; and the all important recovery runs that make you stronger. You will learn about pacing, basics of heart rate training, track workouts and more. The program is designed for people currently running or run/walking 20 minutes comfortably.
