Description

The North Jersey Masters is offering a supplemental 4-week running program designed to further improve your running progress following your Beginner Program graduation. This will be a structured program i.e. you will receive a weekly running schedule and training advice from a certified USATF/RRCA Level 2 running coach. You will be able to choose from a more moderate to an advanced program depending upon your goals.  There will also be an option to build from three to four days of running per week.  

Our group workout will take place at the Glen Rock Duck Pond in Glen Rock . Some of the training will be on the path and some of it around the pond. Registrants will run at their own pace. 

You will be learning about higher level training techniques (dynamic drills, strides, intervals, etc.) and applying these skills to your current training. 

The intended goal race is the Harrington Park 5K on 11/13. This is an optional race that you may choose to register for on your own.  It is a stunning course to run, especially in the Fall. The link to the event is www.hp5k.org.

The program will continue one week beyond the Harrington Park event so that you may continue to build upon your progress and be mentally and physically prepared to run a Thanksgiving Day race of your choice. There are several to choose from depending upon where you live and/or your willingness to drive to other locations.

You must be a  Fall 21 Beginner Program graduate and current NJM member to be eligible to participate.
