Progressive mileage incremental plan has been proven to work well in past editions of MillRace Marathon since 2013. The program is combined of training classes and running practices.

Classes will provide you with running tips and best practice sharing, information to select the most suitable running shoes and attire, nutrition topics and suggestions for runners; advice to prevent injuries and professional aid needed are some of the topics.

Running practices are comprehensive to help on building strong base and develop running strength and stamina. Running practices are supported by the Columbus Running Club that ensures focus on the practice. It goes from long runs, steady pace runs, speed and intervals practices, tempo run practices, etc.

17 week training program in 2023 is from May 27th to Sept 23th. Running Topic classes will be at Yes CInema, in downtown Columbus, IN. on Saturdays at 7:00 am, with duration of 30~40 minutes followed by a running practice as a group with Columbus Running Club.

Tuesday alternative workout: This is better done is a track because the distance is well known: One lap is 400 mts. You do many laps as needed to achieve the distance. However, it can be done it on the road or the street.
