Beginner/Intermediate 10K Running Program

[Anonymous]

The JCC of Greater Washington in Rockville, Maryland has a 10K training program starting on February 21 for beginner to intermediate runners. Directed by a RRCA certified running coach, 6-time Boston Marathon finisher and mother to three children under the age of four, this program is perfect for moms (and dads!) trying to get back into shape. In fact, most of the participants already signed up are fellow parents of young children.

Participants should be able to continuously jog 2 miles (approx. 20-30 minutes) upon beginning the program. The program includes: a 9-week training program, twice weekly coached group runs on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, most starting at the JCC in Rockville (optional but encouraged), entry into the beginner-friendly Pike's Peek 10K (4/25 in Rockville), strength training, speakers on running-related topics such as injury prevention, nutrition and race day preparation, a technical running t-shirt, exclusive fitting night at co-sponsor Fleet Feet Sports in Gaithersburg, and discounts from Fleet Feet and Polar.
