Training Levels
In this program we will work with runners on two levels (and you may have needs in both levels):
Level 1
You would like to run continuously a 5K (3.1 miles) for the first time, and do it injury-free.
For this we have two development tracks:
- 1a – develop the ability to use run/walk intervals for the entire distance
- 1b – develop the ability to run continuously for 5K miles
Level 2
You would like to run a 5K feeling better and performing better than you have before.
Dates and Times
The lesson series covers 4 weeks: 4 lessons and 1 final time trial to test your new skills and fitness. The first lesson is 90 minutes long and the following three are 60 minutes.
Training sessions are held at Courthouse Fitness West Salem, meeting at first in the basketball gym, and then usually moving outdoors.
