As you are aware now, the Go The Distance Program training does it’s training on the Boilermaker course. Familiarize yourself with the course. When you train on your own, be sure it's on some of the course. This will help you discover your strengths and weakness on the course.

The Boilermaker course is deceptively difficult. There are a few hills to contend with. When you are running up hill lean forward, and pump your arms. When you are running down hill, lean back, relax those arms, open and close your hands, and use that hill for an energy source. Run within your own form; do not copy somebody else’s form.

Here’s your schedule for this week.
 

  • Monday, Day 1 – We run 4.7 miles today. Start at the finish line, turn left onto York Street, right onto Burrstone Road, right onto Champlin Ave, right onto Whitesboro Street, and back to finish line.
  • Tuesday, Day 2 – Rest Day
  • Wednesday, Day 3 – A four mile jog of your choice.
  • Thursday, Day 4 – Call a friend and run a four mile loop.
  • Friday, Day 5 – Rest Day (switch with Saturday if you are planning on doing the Sunday run)
  • Saturday, Day 6 – A 4.5-mile loop with some light hills, remember to stretch before and after the run.
  • Sunday, Day 7 – Rest Day or for those that wish, National Distance Running HOF 5k
