These workouts can take the form of just about anything yoga, biking, weight training, and walking are all great. These three plans are all accessible in the app. Simply start the challenge on whatever week you’re on, and transition into the 5K plan (or 10K) when you’re ready. Midweek cross training helps balance your training by engaging different muscles. If you’ve already started the None to Run plan, no problem.You’ll keep one another motivated and take your mind off the hard work! One of your fellow Pacers might be the perfect candidate. For example, signing up for a 5K race after the program’s competition can help keep you motivated.
Set goals for yourself and track your progress.
If you feel any pain while running, stop immediately and let your coach/team doctor know. A benefit of running with a training group like the Pacers is that there’s probably someone else running at your pace so you’ll have company to help keep you going. Always consult your healthcare provider before beginning any exercise program. In order to get the most out of your training, we have these recommendations to keep you motivated and enjoying your workouts: We also recommend a sports watch or phone with a run tracker app (loads of Pacers are on Strava or Garmin), but it is by no means required. Check the Pacers calendar to verify specific location and time as conflicts occasionally cause a change in location.Īs with any Pacer program or run, all you need is a water bottle and some comfortable running shoes. Training groups meet just south of the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center on the south end of Lot I. Mid-week runs are on your own, but you’ll frequently find other Pacers out at the Rose Bowl on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The 10-Mile Challenge program meets at the general all-club meetup at 7am on Saturday mornings.
