The North Jersey Masters 10K Training Program

You’ve conquered the 5K – now it’s time to go Beyond the 5K! This program is designed to help you safely and confidently train for your next milestone: the 10K. With expert coaching, supportive teammates, and a training plan to help you reach your goal, we’ll guide you every step of the way. Join us as we train together, celebrate milestones, and cross that 10K finish line! The NJM 10K Training Program is a fun, supportive, 8-week program geared towards runners looking to grow beyond the 5K distance. Prior to joining this program, you should be comfortable running a 5K (3 miles). We will meet in-person on Saturdays as we build our miles together and you'll be provided weekly running assignments to prepare you to complete a 10K running event. During our in-person sessions, you will have direct interaction with your coach, other NJM members, and your teammates. We will discuss successes and challenges, fueling, mental strategies, and build a great community to get you to the start line! A professional RRCA certified running coach will provide guidance, motivation, tips and a training schedule to allow you to grow to the 10K distance. Volunteers will join the group on training runs to offer encouragement and share their experiences. Your coach will be available via email, phone, and in-person to discuss any questions, challenges, and provide guidance as we train together and will provide frequent email communications throughout the 8-week training program. North Jersey Masters Members will receive a $10 discount upon checkout. What's included: 8 week training program by an RRCA certified coach, including Saturday in-person long runs and mid-week speed work sessions.
