Running 201 - Potomac River Running
Running 201 is offered as a follow-up to Running 101. It is designed for a runner with an existing run volume base seeking to improve his/her performance at the 5K/10K distances and/or build the endurance to move to a longer event. If you can run 9:00 for a mile or faster, you will fit in Running 201. Current participants have run 5Ks between 18:00 and 30:00 and/or completed a longer distance event with minimal walking.
Details
The program meets for two one-hour sessions each week. A typical session may focus on endurance, improving speed through intervals targeting different running forms and training zones/energy systems, and running technique. Participants' 8-week training schedule also includes suggested run distances and efforts for days the group does not meet.
