Zero to bg6000 Training Group
The perfect place to begin your Running Journey
In collaboration with The Street Sharks, We will be hosting a free training program with beginner runners in mind. The group will follow the official training plan for the bg6000, starting with running/walking intervals gradually building up to running the bg6000 6km race in November.
The training group will meet at BGRC and Street Sharks weekly runs to prepare for the race including our Tuesday Fleet Feet Runs, Street Sharks Wednesday Workouts, Thursday Evening Group runs and Saturday long runs.

FAQ
Q: "What if I'm not in shape? I'm not a runner AT ALL."
A: Great! this is the program for you! Many runners start with training groups like these that are designed to challenge you gradually so you can safely build up to running longer as the weeks go by until you can finish your first race ever.
Q: "How much does the training program cost?"
A: The training program is free. Just come run with us.
Q: "When and where do we meet?"
A: We will be meeting with the BG Run Club group runs on Tuesday and Thursdays at 5:30pm as well as Street Sharks workouts on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Check the Community Calendar for run group dates and locations.
Q: "What if I miss a workout?"
A: It's fine, almost nobody makes every single workout. Training plans are designed to account for life happening. Sometimes we get sick, vacation falls in the middle of training plan. Download the training plan, put it on your fridge and do the workout when you can fit it in your schedule. If you miss it, just do the next one, you'll be fine.
Q: "What if my schedule doesnt allow me to make all the runs?"
A: That's totally understandable, maybe you have class or bible study the same time as the group run. Download the plan, and run it at a different time. Meet us on the days you can, fly solo on the days you cannot. Come to the Saturday runs, you might find another runner or two who can train at the same time as you.
