BRRC Beginner/Intermediate 5K Training Group
Event 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.
