DAVE'S 5K TRAINING • SPRING 2023 DAVE'S SPRING 5K TRAINING PROGRAM

Spring means the road racing season is ramping back up, and Training the Dave's Way will have you putting your best foot forward when heading out the door to your local 5K. The Dave's Spring 5K Program is an 8-week training program that provides expert coaching alongside a fun and motivating community of runners, who are working toward a common goal. Training is always more enjoyable with others, and Dave's Running Shop will get you on the right track to a healthy lifestyle.

THE "NEWBIE"

So you are new to running, looking to transition from walking, or just completing your first 5K race?  We will get you from ground-zero to the finish line with a detailed, 8-week plan that will gradually build you from walking to running at the goal race.

THE WEEKEND WARRIOR

You've got some experience with the 5K but have dreams of running faster. The one obstacle is you're just not sure how to approach it. Let Dave's take the base you have built and use that to your advantage. We will make you faster by pushing you with a detailed training program in a motivating, fun atmosphere.

THE RACER

3.1 miles of racing is no problem, right?  What if your dream is the gold standard, a sub-20 minute 5K or faster?  Our experienced staff will craft a plan to push you to that big PR because Dave's coaches will keep you accountable and motivated to hit that goal.

REMOTE TRAINING OPTION (online)

Dave's Training Programs now offer an alternative to in-person training. This option is for those who may not feel comfortable running with others at this time, or runners who prefer to train on their own, or due to a hectic schedule may not be able to meet on the official training days, or runners from around the country looking for expert training resources. Dave's Remote Training includes our full program online; offering everything that the in-person program does, except for the official in-person group sessions. Dave's Remote Spring 5K Program is powered by the Training Tilt online platform that has a robust online experience to accommodate all of your training needs and allows for interaction with Dave's Training Director and other runners in the program.

What are you waiting for?  Let’s accomplish your goals together.
