10K Smarter Running
The Smarter Running 10K training program begins Tuesday August 5, 2008, and ends with the Sunday, November 2, 2008, Rockville 10K race. This training program is both for first time 10K and experienced racers who are looking for a breakthrough in training. Emphasis will be on improving endurance and running efficiency through form improvement, and drills. A modified training plan will be provided for those wanting to train for the Army 10-Miler. Train smarter, not harder. Quality miles not high mileage is what we do!
