Intermediate Running & Run Walk Training Programs

The Intermediate Running Program is designed to PROGRESSIVELY build longer distances, and paces range from 9:00 min mile thru 13:00 min mile. The training runs include speed workouts and tempo runs structured to improve overall speed, endurance, and strength while running.

The Intermediate Run Walk 10k  Program is designed to PROGRESSIVELY build longer distances at an overall 12:00 minute pace per mile. The training is structured to improve overall speed, endurance, and strength across run and walk intervals of various timed periods.

In order to join the Intermediate Program, you MUST CURRENTLY BE ABLE TO RUN 3 MILES WITHOUT ANY WALKING WHILE EASILY MAINTAINING A 13:00 MIN MILE. This is for safety reasons since we will be running through the streets of Scranton. If you can't yet run 3 miles while EASILY maintaining that pace, we suggest you join the Beginner Running or Run Walk 5K Program so that you can build your stamina at a slightly faster pace.
