Description

Overview: People decide they want to learn how or to improve their existing skills with walking or running a 5K in time for fall races. Join the Baltimore Road Runners to do just that, plus meet new friends and have a lot of fun!

Goals and Purposes: The 5K Training Group is designed for six groups of people.

·        Walkers who want to complete their first 5K

·        Walkers who have completed a 5K, but want to improve their skills

·        Those who want to learn how to run a 5K

·        Runners who have run a 5K, but want to improve their skills 

·        Those who want to return from an injury utilizing the safety of a structured program

·        Families who want to run together in a structured environment

 

·        Under the leadership of experienced, certified coaches, runners will be introduced to topics such as proper running form, clothing choices, pacing, hill strategy, hydration, static and dynamic stretching, and more. 

 

·        A 10-week schedule will be provided to all participants. Participants self-identify which group they want to join, and may change groups at will.

Workouts:

·        A 10 week schedule will be provided to all participants.

·        Both walkers and runners will be introduced to intervals, where they walk faster or run for a specified time period, then walk briskly to recover for a specified time. 

·        The speed-walking/running time will be increased and the recovery time decreased as the training progresses. The distances will also be increased during the training.
