Program Overview

Each week will follow the same cadence, but build on the lessons & training from the previous week(s).

(GROUP) RUN: Each week, it will be important to complete at least 4 ‘runs’. The run might be a walk, a walk/jog, a jog, or a full out run. It all counts. The specific distance and/or time, as well as the type of run (steady state, alternating, or tempo) will be provided within the specific plan you choose. Strollers are always welcome!

CROSS TRAIN: While running will be important to achieve your distance and time goal, it’s also important to add variety to your weekly training plan to keep you strong, mobile, and healthy. A good balance of functional body conditioning is encouraged on these days and your coach will provide you with additional information regarding the best cross training opportunities for you.

ACTIVE RECOVERY: Active Recovery is an important part of your overall training plan. Whether you decide to go for a long walk, practice yoga or engage in myofascial release, the Active Recovery day will help make your other run days even better!
