Summer/Fall Distance Program 2008
Train throughout the summer and fall to build upon your spring fitness and take the next step in your running experience. BOLDRUNNING offers group training programs for everyone from first timers to seasoned runners. Use our half marathon and full marathon specific programs to help you towards any of our quality endorsed races, a race of your own choice or simply to improve fitness and wellbeing.
Goal specific half marathon and marathon training schedules are expertly crafted in conjunction with 1993 World Marathon Champion, Mark Plaatjes and elite runner and BOLDRUNNING head Coach Ewen North. Professionally trained coaches undertake weekly group workouts and monitor your progress through the BOLDRUNNING online member.
How Does It Work?
Runners will be placed into groups of similar ability with customized schedules for each “pace group.” Club members meet every week with their coach and group at a pre-determined running trail. You can join in up to 3 workouts per week. Training schedules, meeting location details and personal training journals will be accessed from the BOLDRUNNING member site. In addition, your coach will be available via email if you have training questions, need advice, or just a little extra motivation.
Members will be given access to the Training site shortly before the program begins.
Pace Groups
Schedules are customized for each ability group, categorized as follows (10k pace you want to run after 12 weeks of training, not today):
- Sub 1:30/3:00 (about 7 minute mile pace)
- Sub 1:45/3:30 (about 8 minute mile pace)
- Sub 2:00/4:00 (about 9 minute mile pace)
- Sub 2:15/4:30 (about 10 minute mile pace)
- Sub 2:30/5:00 (about 11 minute mile pace)
- I just want to Run the Whole way and Finish
