My runcrew, Tribe Fitness, is proud to team up with the Canada Running Series to offer a 9 week ‘Couch to 8K’ Virtual Training Program, consisting of email based mentorship support as well as optional in-personal weekly training runs from our Tribe Fitness Headquarters at City Place located at Spadina and Fort York, in Toronto.
This beginner-friendly, 9-week training program is designed to prepare YOU to reach a distance of 8K, in order to complete Harry’s Spring Run-Off in High Park on Saturday April 4th. The Couch to 8K program is based on a run/walk progression and no past running experience is required.
Weekly in-person sessions will consist of a 10 minute class covering training basics and technique, followed by a 25-50 minute group run/walk session. A training plan will be provided to you at the first in person session, outlining the entire 9 weeks. Participants are encouraged to attend the weekly workouts in person, however if that is not possible, participants can follow the training plan online, at their own convenience as a member of the #VirtualTribe. Participants must be able to walk 60 minutes continuously at the beginning of the program.
