Now that the Bolder Boulder has shifted to the fall you have the perfect amount of time to get prepared. We have put together the ideal running program, particularly now that social distancing is the way to train.

Our certified instructor, Isabella, has crafted both beginner and advanced level running workouts to help you prep for any 10k. Each week, we will post a new workout on our site moving you along in your training as well as providing you with tracking cards for motivation along the way. Below is an introductory video where Isabella explains everything involved in your new 10k Training Program.

The ability based workouts or for those who are new to running.
