10K Training Program

 Our 10K training program, supported by New Balance, is a great “next step” from 5K & 8K distances. Whether you want to maintain your current fitness level, continually challenge your endurance, or develop a solid foundation in the hopes of training for a future half or full marathon, this is the training program for you!

For 8 weeks we’ll train twice a week through the winter months and burst into spring ready to take on the 10k distance. Training is geared toward runners and walkers who are comfortable with 3 miles, but are looking to take it up a notch. We'll progress gradually with our sights set on a great milestone race—the 50th-anniversary Cherry Blossom 10K on Sunday, April 12th in Branch Brook Park.
