Summertime with BOISE RunWalk!

Your Summer training program provides the group support and coaching for 12 weeks on the way to the Portland Marathon and City of Trees Marathon in October, plus many Fall events including the Barber to Boise, High Speed Pursuit and the Zeitgeist.

The half marathon schedule starts at 3 or 4 miles on July 21 for runners and walkers. One of the biggest challenges coaches have is getting inexperienced runners to approach the first 5 weeks at low intensity while focusing on core strength and flexibility. You have plenty of time to add speed training once you have built a base of low miles and freedom from injury. During the first 5 weeks, focus on core strength to prevent injuries, nutrition and making new friends, all while running very conservatively.

The 10K Summer training schedule starts at 1 or 2 miles. Many people enjoy training for the 10K (6.2 miles) and this program provides people an opportunity to re-introduce themselves to running after a long, very long layoff. The 10K programs is also perfect for walkers learning to run, and everyone to prepare for a half marathon program in the Summer.

All routes will be on the greenbelt and at Hulls Gulch for easy hill workouts.  All groups share the common routes with coaches, water coolers when necessary and restrooms or portable toilets.

Saturday Morning Routine
Meet at 8:00am at Shoreline Park on July 14. Within 2 weeks we will start meeting at 7:30am. Watch the schedule and listen for announcements on various Saturday locations, either Camels Back Park or Shoreline Park or others. Most mornings we will hold group discussions where we coach you on important training topics using a question/answer format. These discussions last 30 minutes before we warm-up and head out on the routes.

Boise running!
