BEGINNER 5K & HALF-MARATHON PLANS AS WELL AS RUN-WALK OPTION
Looking to run your first 5K? With Dave's Beginner 5K program, you have a detailed plan that mixes walking and running together until you are out there running 3.1 miles on your own.
If you are someone who prefers to run-walk, we have a half-marathon plan with coaches who train using a run-walk training method for the half-marathon distance. This "open pace" training plan is also used for anyone looking to complete their first marathon, and goal time is not a factor.
REMOTE TRAINING OPTION (online)
The Training Tilt app has been such a game-changer for our remote trainers that we’re now making it an option for everyone in the program! One of its standout features is the interactive training calendar, which lets you sync your Strava account or Garmin device to keep your workouts organized and on track.
The Dave's REMOTE TRAINERS will receive weekly coaching advice and encouragement from Dave's Training Team on the Training Tilt platform.
