Running 201 - Summer 2019

Register for Running 201 - Summer 2019


OVERVIEW

Running 201 is offered as a follow-up to Running 101(™), though you need not have participated in a 101 program to register. 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, OR you can run 5 miles without stopping at a slower pace, Running 201 is right for you! Current participants have run 5Ks between 18:00 and 32:00 and/or completed a longer distance event with minimal walking. Running 201 is offered in multiple sessions from early-spring through fall.

PROGRAM DETAILS
A typical session may focus on endurance, improving speed through intervals targeting different running forms and training zones/energy systems, and running technique. In addition, we’ll use some basic circuits, drills, and core work to supplement the run portion of the training. All exercises are designed to strengthen and support your running muscles. When you complete Running 201, choose to repeat it again — because runners’ ability and training levels vary, there is always room to improve.

PROGRAM DURATION
2019 summer sessions begin the week of July 8th and run through August 29th. The standard program meets for two one-hour sessions (or slightly longer) each week.

PROGRAM COST
The 2019 program cost for a new participant in Running 201 is $145 for an 8-week session. Returning participant cost (for returners from any previous PR Training program) is $115 for the 8-week session. This cost includes up to 16 weekday coached group sessions (we understand you may not be able to attend them all, but encourage all participants to commit to attending at least one session/week on average.) All participants also receive a commemorative program tee shirt, and are eligible for other giveaways.

Runners who plan to also register for the Summer/Fall Distance Training program are eligible for an additional $20 savings on their DTP registration due to the possible overlap in the weekday program sessions. Email cathy@potomacriverrunning.com for a promo code.

**NOTE TO RETURNING PARTICIPANTS**: Your returning participant discount will be applied at the end of registration, and will be shown in your cart at checkout.
