Have you wanted to start running but are intimidated or don’t know where to start? The Southern Colorado Runners’ Newbie 5K Training Program is designed to help you train for the Hometown 5K on August 10th, https://runsignup.com/Race/CO/ColoradoSprings/HometownHalfMarathon5k10kColoradoSprings, but can be used to train for any summer or fall 5K. All abilities are welcome! Whether you're a runner/walker attempting your first 5K or you want to get back into running, there's a place for you! In our program, we think sharing the training journey with friends working to achieve a common goal is the best part and makes every run more fun! This program is designed for people who have never run before or who have not run recently. We'll help you achieve your goal safely by a gradual and strategic increase in your training mileage. We start with very gentle workouts combining walking and running. The first workout is running for 10 seconds and walking for 30 seconds. Then each week it will gradually increase. Each week it involves two runs on your own and a group run on Saturday's. This training style allows your body plenty of time to adapt to running over the 9 weeks of the program as we build to the goal of running a 5K/3.1 mile distance. We give instruction on proper hydration, nutrition, injury prevention, running form, training principles, as well as other areas to help you have a successful race! All participants will receive schedules through email. What you will Receive
