Program Description:

The Frederick Women’s Distance Festival 5k Training Program is ideal for:

• Walkers who would like to begin adding short run segments to improve fitness and run-walk a 5k race.

• Casual runners who would like to be able to consistently run an entire 5k race.

• Intermediate runners comfortable with racing the 5k distance who would like to improve their race time.

• Any women who would like to run with other women to make friends and get motivated to move.

Each participant is given a training plan including recommendations for mileage, cross-training, and days off. While some runs will need to be done on your own, volunteer coaches lead group runs twice a week. Group runs are encouraged, but not mandatory. A private Facebook page provides a place to coordinate additional runs with other participants, and to get support and advice from more experienced participants and your volunteer coaches. We try our best to answer your questions, or at least connect you with someone who can.
