This page will hopefully answer all of your questions and be your starting point should you need any
additional information. If you haven’t already seen it, the 2019
BRC Couch to 5K Flier also tells
you a bit. Our program is based largely on Coolrunning.com’s Couch to 5K Running
Plan.
There is basic information on the 2019
BRC Couch to 5K Flier and there is an informational meeting held on February 19, 2019 at
the Nichols Center (Room
107, 515 East D St, Belleville, IL).
Our first run is held on February 26, 2019.

program, and BRC Couch to 5k T-shirt
– Option #3: $40 for Law Day Run Entry, 1 Year Membership to the Belleville
Running club, 9-week

The goal of the program is to get you ready for a 5 kilometer (3.1 miles) race in 9 weeks.
The program has you walking and running multiple times a week. We will only be meeting as
a group on Monday evenings early on and then on a couple of Saturday mornings at the end
of the program. So you will be on your own for many of your runs. It is very important
that you try to stick to the schedule.
What is body glide? Should I stretch before I run? Should I carb load right before I go for a run? We
are certain that you have tons of questions about running. We were all in the same boat at one time.
That is why we polled our group members and came up with the most frequently
asked questions for
beginner runners. Please refer to this document and please
ask anything else that comes to mind.
