Coach's Notes
Welcome to Spring Training for Bolder Boulder!!! The first 4 Weeks of training are "Base" allowing you to build SLOWLY and at your OWN pace. There are 3 Schedules based upon your Fitness Level (right now), so please follow the one appropriate to where you are with your running. If you have been off running for a while or not quite up to speed, either Skip one of the Easy Days or Reduce the time of a run on a given day. Please don’t be SHY to ask questions…the Coaches, Colleen and Myself are there to answer them.
Be SMART and stay HEALTHY this Spring and have most importantly HAVE FUN out there!!!
