Couch to 5K presented by Blue Shield of Northeastern New York - This supportive and motivating 10 week program is designed to prepare you - no matter your fitness level - to run or walk a 5K. Based on jog/walk interval training, this program teaches you the proper form and pacing needed to successfully complete a 5K.

5K to 5K - Have you mastered the initial phase of our Couch to 5K program? If so, this course is for you. Learn new strategies and essential tools to help you meet and maintain your current running program. This 10 week program will provide a supportive and motivating environment for beginner/intermediate level runners. Over the 10 weeks we will focus on improving efficiency and increasing speed while learning about the importance of cross training and proper nutrition.

Beginner Triathlon Training - Training for your first triathlon should be both challenging and rewarding. In this program, geared for beginners, you will meet with your tri coaches 2x weekly, be given a detailed training plan, and be led through a 7 week program designed to improve your skills and prepare you to complete your first triathlon.
