RUNNING LEVELS

Level I: Beginning Runners and Walkers. Build to 2-4 runs or walks per week and supplement with non-impact cross training (cycling, swimming, yoga, etc.).

Level II: Intermediate Runners. Currently running 3-5 times per week with occasional speed workouts and supplementing with non-impact cross training (cycling, swimming, yoga, etc.)

Level III: Advanced Runners. Currently running 5+ times per week totaling 30-40+ miles per week with speed work in a recent training cycle. Marathoners are running up to 10-12 miles for long runs and half marathoners are running 8 miles for long runs. Advanced full marathoners should have previous marathon experience.
