Thursday, March 19th, 2015
12 Thursdays - March 19th through June 4th - 6:30pm to 8:00pm

This gradual training program is designed to prepare participants who are currently comfortable running 5k to run 10km over the course of 12 weeks. Participants often begin at different levels of fitness and are encouraged to complete each training session to the best of their ability. The Learn to Run 10k program is based on a run/walk progression, allowing you to run for 10+km at the end of the clinic. It is progressive and fun, and the amount of running varies, with the introduction of strength/hill training and speed training, to help you achieve your goals.
 
Experience running at least 5km is required and recommended. Weekly sessions will consist of a 15 - 30 min class covering training, fitness and technique, followed by a 30 - 60min group run session. A training plan will be provided to you at the first session outlining the entire clinic.  Weekly emails will keep you in touch with your coach and on-top of the training plan.
 
Participants will meet in the cycling department each week. Gear check is available.
 
Clinics will run on Thursday evenings starting March 19th through to June 4th from 6:30pm-8:00pm. Optional run meet-up available on Tuesdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 9am.
