The CVRR 5K Running Clinic – A new year tradition since 1986!

Individuals of all abilities are welcome at the CVRR 5K Running Clinic. There is a level for everyone and a pace group that will suit your unique needs. All clinic participants will easily manage the 5K Fun Run celebration on Week 10… all at different speeds.

Level 1

Are you a walker who wishes to run but fears you may be too unfit to jump right into the walk/run program? Level 1 will spend 10 weeks teaching strength and posture techniques designed to get your body ready for the next “running” steps you want to take. Your walking speed will increase, and some running  segments will be introduced near the end of the program. You will end this session ready to begin to walk/run.

Level 2

Are you quite fit, already walking most days or playing active sports regularly, and wanting to learn to run?  Level 2 begins at a very easy walk-to-run ratio which progressively builds over 10 weeks until you are running, or almost fully running, the entire 5K distance.

Level 3

Maybe you already do some running, or perhaps you are a returning runner after a short hiatus due to life getting in the way. That seems to happen to the best of us… We are here for you! Level 3 starts with a flowy walk/run with lots of emphasis on running slowly and easily. By the 6th week, you will be running continuously and beginning to improve your strength and endurance.

You can never be “done” with learning how to become a better runner. All of the training you receive at our clinic is easily transferable to trail runs, even though our weekly runs are on paved trails and roads.

“Don’t run to add days to your life, run to add life to your days.” – Ronald Rook
