The training plan below is intended for people who are active and can run consistently for about 30-40 minutes without walking. If you are not to that point, DO NOT FEAR! See this new-to-running two week cycle to help you get to that point.
Our training for summer is meant to gradually increase your total miles run per week to a point where you will be an aerobic beast by the end of August. The gradual increase is important because it will keep you healthy for the fall! See the "Sunday" box for total miles to run that week. Typically, if you run the minutes assigned, you will hit your weekly mileage goal. See below for guidelines for miles per week you should aim for based on your experience.
By following the training below, you will also be building your strength (core, hips, weights) and endurance in order to complete the DesNews 10k on Pioneer Day in July Use the PromoCode: DNHS23 for the best price (Register HERE).
