Illinois Runs Training Programs
| ILLINOIS RUNS ALPINE 5K TRAINING PROGRAM |
This 8-week training program will get you from a non-aerobic fitness
level of no running to finishing the Alpine 5K. 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 5K
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 5K 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 weekend 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 weekend run. All weekend training runs will provide water and
Gatorade at every 2 to 3 miles along the course.
