Running 201: 10 MILER TRAINING PROGRAM
Can you conquer the “XTREME”? Are you ready for a challenge? Whether you are looking for a run in one of the most beautiful parks in the Chicagoland area or want an “Xtreme” challenge Fleet Feet’s experienced coaches are ready to help you complete the best race of the summer, The Waterfall Glen Xtreme 10 Mile. The Xtreme 10 was voted “2010 Runner’s Choice Circuit Race” and “2009 Best in Chicagoland Race” by CARA (Chicago Area Runners Association)
This is an 8 week program with 2 coached sessions per week, one mid-week “speed” session on Tuesday Nights (no worries speed is a relative term), a long run on Saturday mornings, and an optional group fun run on Thursday Nights.
Once you work with Fleet Feet we know you won’t want to stop so we have created this program to lead you right into the next distance, the Chicago Half Marathon. As a member of the Xtreme training program you can smoothly transition into the last few weeks of training for the half marathon distance with Fleet Feet. We will honor your determination and loyalty by providing you the continued training for a fraction of the cost!
