The King’s Runner 10K Training Program.

- - The 9-week Program addresses the needs of beginner student-athletes (whether runners, joggers, or walkers) who want to develop their racing skills in a non-competitive, supportive group environment, with expert coaching and teaching.

- - Three practice races enable beginners to practice basic training and racing skills, such as how to be relaxed when running, jogging, or walking uphill to build leg strength.
  - Special attention will be given also to preparing mentally for races: reducing anxiety and having abundant energy on race-day.
  - This program is a prerequisite for entering one of the subsequent BC Endurance racer trainings, including the ongoing Hapalua and Hibiscus Half-marathon trainings (March through May), and the Mile-to-Marathon training in the Fall (Aug to Dec).
  - Interested? Please fill out the pre-program questionnaire

The Workouts.

- - All program workouts prepare beginners (whether runners, joggers, or walkers) for the mental and physical rigors of competitive racing, whether you want to be competitive with others or only with yourself.
  - Athletes meet in person for the first two-week enrollment period (six workouts). Thereafter, you’ll train three times a week (once on a weekend morning in person; and twice during weeknight conference calls).
  - You may train by yourself from your home or workplace on the weeknights, or you may organize a support group to train with while you listen to the coach give instructions or lead discussions through your blue-tooth-enabled cell phone.
  - All workouts are recorded on Zoom audio for playback should you have to miss a workout and wish to keep up with the group on your own time. In any case, the group provides the discipline for regular and fruitful training and a fit and healthy lifestyle.
  - Interested? Please fill out the pre-program questionnaire

The Schedule.

- - Scheduling is our way of gathering a group that becomes a team for support purposes. Please see about clearing your schedule for the entire 9-week training. There is no time for slacking as the training builds progressively.
  - The 2-week enrollment period for the 9-week program begins the first week of January. You’re expected to come to every workout as an enrollment condition. We teach the basics, starting at an easy level so you don’t hurt yourself at the outset.
  - In-person workout time slots (during the first 2 week enrollment period). Monday and Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Some adjustments may be made to accommodate athletes that can’t make these times.
