DAVE'S SPRING 5K TRAINING PROGRAM 2024

Short review

Spring means the local road racing season is ramping back up, and Dave's Running Shop wants to make sure that you put 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 fun 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 complete 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, on to the finish line.

THE CASUAL RUNNER

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 FASTEST OF THE FAST

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

NEW—REMOTE TRAINING OPTION (online)

Our newest offering is something we have been developing for awhile, and the pandemic has made it the perfect time to unveil — Dave's Running Shop's Remote Training.  Dave's training programs now offer an alternative to our in-person training; 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, as well as 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 coaches and other runners in the program.

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