We are 10 weeks out from the Oahe Days run with Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch. Start a 9 week Couch to 5K training program today and you will be ready to run (or even walk) with Eric in June.
Download this podcast to your MP3 player or phone and hit the trail 3 times this coming week. The podcast provides you a personal trainer to coach you through your workouts.
Important points.
- Invest in good shoes. They are a must.
- Run in a safe place. Hilger’s Gulch, the play trail, and the bike path along the river offer a good trail and nice views.
- Take at least one day’s break between training. You need to recover.
- Read more about training for a 5K.
