October 15 – December 7, 2024
PGRC’s 8K training program will support participants as they increase capacity and strength, building from a base of 2 – 3 miles to a long run of 5 miles. The program includes two coached runs each week (Tuesday and Saturday), with tips on stretching, winter running safety, and growing stronger as a runner through different types of running sessions and cross training recommendations. The target graduation race is the Wright Stuff 8k race on December 7, 2024.
