Spring HIIT Training- Lake Run Club

Our training programs are designed to have you prepared and ready to run the Lake Run, in either the 3 mile walk, the 4.37 mile or 12K 7.44 mile. The Lake Run is the first Saturday in May. 

This 9 week training program is for both first time runners and any runner who is looking to improve race performance.  Lake Run group leaders have decades of running experience, frequent top age group competitors.  Participants can expect high short burst intensity sessions each week. 

We have many repeat participants who come back year after year. Lake Run Club training programs have been decades in the making.  Enjoy the weekly group runs and all of the perks and program flexibility  including a T-Shirt, entry into the May Lake Run and refreshments each week.  

Some runners will "make it their own" running at a steady pace and just use the training to maintain a current level of fitness.  As the weeks go by, there will be a steady progression in intensity at your comfort level. Runners with a good running base, will start with a higher intensity level.

While multiple leaders will be present at each session.  Leaders' roles will include: check in/out, guiding group warm-up/cool-down stretches, lead course runner and follow-up runner(s).  Leaders will be able to guide you in your running questions or concerns during warm-up or after the run. We will send out electronic education regarding a variety of running topics throughout the program.
