Illinois Runs Training Program
Lakefront 10-Mile Training Program
This 12-week Universal Sole Lakefront 10-Mile training program will get
you from an aerobic  fitness level of running for twenty minutes to
finishing the Universal Sole Lakefront 10 Miler on Sunday, April 27,
2008. This training program will not only prepare you to finish the Bank
of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K on March 30 but also prepare you to
finish any spring half marathon. This training program will also be the
perfect tool to prepare your training base if you are thinking of running
in this year’s Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 12, 2008.
You will have trained both your mind and body 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. 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 help you get through each
weekend run.
