Trail Techniques 5K/10K

Trail Techniques 5K/10K Training  

The trails are calling, and Fleet Feet Folsom Roseville has a Trail Training Program to help you get out there! This program has everything - experienced coaches, a time-based training schedule, and weekly runs that will introduce you to many different local trailheads in a safe group setting. We will share information on the important components of trail running, fueling, and hydration for the demands of the trail…it’s different than on the road! 

This program is meant for anyone who is new to trail running or wants to get back to the basics of trail running techniques and will culminate in the Mississippi Bar Trail Run 5K/10K on Saturday, June 1st.

Kick-Off Informational Meeting

Not sure if Trail Training is for you? All are welcome to meet the coaches on Sunday, April 7th for our introduction to Trail Training at 7:30am, at Fleet Feet Folsom. After the meeting, we will do a short icebreaker workout. 

Weekly Workouts 

• April 7th to June 1  
• Thursdays 6 pm at Cavitt Jr. High
• Sundays 7:30 am at various locations in the Folsom area  

Parking at some of our Sunday run locations are at State Parks and are paid parking areas. You can purchase a day pass or purchase a Poppy Pass which we highly recommend for convenience and for your future trail exploration. Finding a friend to carpool with is more fun and economical.  

Goal Race

We will prepare you for the Mississippi Bar Trail Run 5K/10K. Exact date TBD. 

Training Schedule

The training is designed to increase week to week, so you build slowly, steadily, and consistently towards your goals. The Thursday workouts consist of intensity such as intervals, hills, and tempo to improve your fitness. The Sunday workouts are building endurance, from 40 minutes up to 90 minutes. Your training schedule will include workouts for you to do on your own throughout the week which will help you see more progress. If you can’t make a workout, you will have the schedule to continue to follow the plan.

Education

Coaches and special guests will educate you in person and in Final Surge on topics such as trail safety, mobility, nutrition/hydration, how to prepare for a race, injury prevention, and more. They are also a resource and support for you along the way.

Group Training Atmosphere

Enjoy the safety, accountability, information, and motivation that come from a coached group workout environment. We also have a private Social Wall in Final Surge for you to share, communicate, and get motivation from your fellow training members.
