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.
