Training program, and a race, for new runners
Commenter Linda mentioned yesterday that she's training -- on her own -- for her first ever race, the Baltimore Women's Classic, a 5k in the city in June. (Yay Linda!)
Today, I received an e-mail about the official training program for the race and thought I'd share. The 8-week program only costs $20, and runs will be held at three different sites. Seems to me to be a good way for a newbie to get started.
Here's some info from the e-mail:
The 2011 Baltimore Women's Training Program presented by Charm City Run will be held all around town and on three different nights of the week... one is sure to fit your schedule and provide you with a great opportunity to start a walking or running program or energize your present routine. Our eight-week session begins the first week of May to prepare you for the Baltimore Women's Classic 5K on June 26.
For only $20, your 8 weeks include:
- a training program designed for beginning walkers, intermediate walkers, beginning runners and intermediate runners
- health and fitness clinics
- music for your workout provided by a DJ (at most locations)
- a training program t-shirt
- group coaches to help you achieve YOUR fitness goals
For more info, check out the website for the BWC training program.

I am not a runner, but after seeing this post and reading about the training program, I decided to sign up! I am going to try for Beginning Running. The group training program sounds like good motivation... I am a terrible self-motivator. Thanks for posting info.
