Alpine Runners Beginning Running Program Educational Session tonight!

2014 ALPINE RUNNERS



SPRING 5K RUNNING PROGRAM



This 8-week training program will get you from a non-aerobic
fitness level of running to finishing the Arlington Stampede 5K in Arlington
Heights on July 6 or the Barrington Run for the Arts 5K on July 4. You can use
this training program to help you build up your mileage steadily.  By steadily increasing your mileage you are
less likely to get injured before your race. You will be both physically and mentally
stronger just knowing that you have done all the physical and mental training
needed to get you through the distance of the 3.1 mile race. What better way to
go through the experience than with the camaraderie of other fellow runners of
your level? The experienced group leaders will guide you through your weekly
group training runs as they share their experiences with you. There will be
group leaders of many different speeds from a 9:00 pace per mile to the 12:00
pace per mile. Don’t worry if you think you might be too slow to run with a
group because you won’t be. No runner will ever be left to run on his own. The
group leaders are there to answer your questions and help you get through each weekly
run.
