ARE YOU READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP?
Train with a group, transform your running into racing, learn how to run faster!
What: 8-week speed training program, primarily on track, but sometimes on roads, trails.
Two convenient options available! However, please choose only one session and stick to it from week to week. This will aid the coaches' ability to keep track everyone's progress, and ensure that workouts are properly tailored.

The Next Step 5K program will help you tailor your running program and will introduce you to other Strider programs. Though the group will only meet officially on Tuesday nights, you are encouraged to join the “Bagel Run” on Saturday mornings for your weekly long run. You may also find new running partners and routes!
Other Features: The program will include post-workout speakers on various topics such as: nutrition, stretching, injury prevention, Chi running, race strategy, etc.
Goals: Damien’s 5K Run on Sunday, June 22 is nominally the ‘graduation’ event. However, this program is also very suited to those running the Women’s Distance Festival (WDF) race series or other races. It provides a good speed base for those training for a fall marathon.
Fee: $15 for the Next Step 5K program, checks only.
Note: In order to minimize the program cost, we will not have a Next Step ‘premium’ this year.
Please ensure that you are a member of the Howard County Striders prior to completing the NEXT STEP application. Sign up to be a Howard County Strider for the 2008 calendar year (to register, see link under 'Program Information'). Membership must be paid for with separate check.
Coaches: Bill Arbelaez, Shane Bogan, Joe Boys, Sandy Boys, Sarah Cepeda, Patrick Clark, Lisa Fichman, Pat Wilkerson
