Neuse River 5K Training Program

Spring 5K Training

Start: February 22nd
Goal Race: Neuse River Bridge Run 5K May 3, 2025.

Our 5K Training group will hold you accountable, support you throughout your journey, and connect you with others who have similar fitness goals! Over the course of the training you can expect weekly newsletters, a training plan to follow, weekly workouts, and support of where you are now and where you want to go! This program is geared towards both beginners and more intermediate runners and walkers - it’s perfect for anyone who’s looking to get started with running and for someone who wants to take the next step in their training. We will have training options for beginner level training and intermediate training!

What to expect at our Workouts:

Each week will have a slightly different focus - breathing, form, nutrition, etc. Below is an example workout and how our weekly topics are discussed during the training:

• Welcome/Announcements
• Weekly Topic (Mini-Form Clinic, Nutrition Sampling, Product Demonstration, etc.)
• Find your pace groups
• Group Dynamic Warmup
• Prescribed route for the day - you'll have turn by turn directions if necessary and mentors leading your group
• Optional Cool down stretching with your group
• Sometimes we'll hold a clinic following the workout, if we don't do it before.

Pace Groups:

Our groups are open to anyone! Yes, anyone. We group everyone based on pacing, offer run/walk intervals and a walking group. Your coaches will help give you suggested training paces once in your group! A general breakdown of our groups are as follows:

• 10:00 - 13:00 min/mile training pace (Continuous Running, we get into some smaller sub-groups)
• 3 Min Run/1 Min Walk Interval Group
• 1 Min Run/1 Min Walk Interval Group
• Walking Group

Please talk with our coach about your pace and they will help you find which run/walk group is right for you.
