The 10K Training Program is geared towards runners who can run 3 continuous miles and would like to increase their running endurance to 6+ miles. The program will build your endurance with a combination of long runs, hill training, and speedwork. In addition, the program will offer the benefits of improved cardiovascular fitness, reduced adverse health factors, safe training methods, and fun!

The group will meet Saturdays mornings, and Tuesday and Thursdays evenings each week. A complete schedule will be provided at the first meeting.

Saturdays:

• The first Saturday we will meet at 7:00 am (SHARP!) at the Glenn Dale Splash Park (11901 Glenn Dale Blvd, Glenn Dale, MD) for a brief orientation and a 3-mile timed run. The purpose of the timed trial is to help the coaches identify the proper pace group for each runner. After the timed trial, each participant will be assigned into an initial pace group.
  
• Regular Saturday Runs will be held in Bowie, Greenbelt, College Park, Glenn Dale, and Oxon Hill.
  
• We will also occasionally run at other locations, to introduce our participants to the many wonderful running locations in our beautiful county.

[*]We will meet at 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays (University of Maryland or PGCC Track) and Thursdays (Bowie or College Park).
