Get Ready to Run! 5K Training Program (Fall Session)
About this race
Saturday sessions begin at 8:30 a.m. and Thursday sessions begin at 6 p.m. Both sessions meet at Fleet Feet Glastonbury, 63 Hebron Avenue, Glastonbury, CT unless otherwise noted. As part of the structure of the program, a third "homework run" is recommended that fits your schedule. We will provide recommendations and best practices regarding these runs throughout the session. Training will be held rain (unless there is thunder & lightning) or shine. Weekly emails will be provided with details on the goals you should have for the current week.
Participants will train at the pace that they feel comfortable with to achieve their weekly goals. This training is about YOU accomplishing YOUR goal of completing the 5k distance at YOUR own pace. Various coaches will be spread throughout the group to support ALL pace levels. All coaches are previous graduates of the program and/or current members of the Glastonbury River Runners! Additional training segments on your own (or with a friend) are recommended. Doing the suggested workouts is what will help you successfully reach your goal. Our training program includes FREE entry into our Race To Fill The Pantry 5K on Sunday November 15th from Riverfront Park in Glastonbury. Celebrate completing the journey with friends! All you have to do is register, show up, and we will get you to the finish!
The GRR Family looks forward to getting to know you, supporting you and cheering you on as you cross that finish line! To better keep the group focused and assure we have the proper amount of coaches to assist you along the way, registration for this session is limited to 50 runners. Get your spot early!
