The 10K Training program is designed for the currently-casual athlete who is ready to take their training to the next level. We'll delve a little deeper into the subjects that will help you go beyond the 5K: speed training, nutrition management, hydration, safety & visibility, and more. Throughout the program, you'll gradually increase your mileage as you train mentally and physically for the 6.2-mile distance.

Despite being “short” from a distance runner’s standpoint, the 10K is a difficult race distance to master. The 10K is a blend of speed and endurance that necessitates running only a few ticks slower than 5k pace, yet for double the distance. Our Advanced 10K Training program is designed to prepare advanced competitors for the exact physiological challenges of the 6.2-mile distance, teach the body and mind how to push, and perfect a pacing strategy.

Our Advanced Half Marathon program is for experienced half marathoners who have made the transition from completing to competing.

An effective off-season will allow your body to heal and adapt from the hard work of a training season, while also providing the opportunity to work on weak spots so they don’t derail the next training cycle. This 8-week program will focus on DISTANCE, targeting athletes looking to either (1) improve aerobic base or (2) prep for the next race distance (i.e. transition from 10K to half marathon OR half marathon to full marathon).

An effective off-season will allow your body to heal and adapt from the hard work of a training season, while also providing the opportunity to work on weak spots so they don’t derail the next training cycle. This 8-week program will focus on SPEED, targeting athletes who are looking to either (1) go "shorter, faster" or (2) improve form and efficiency for the next training season.

Off-road running is good for the body and the soul. Trails don’t pound the legs, their uneven surfaces and hills build leg and lung strength, and they provide a close-up view of Mother Nature at her best. Our Rock Runners program teaches participants how to safely enjoy off-road running and introduces them to different local trails.
