About the North Jersey Masters 5K Beginner Running Program
This is an eight-week coached program for people who are new to running or coming back after time away. Weekly group workouts are led by a certified coach, with training assignments between sessions to build fitness gradually. Guest speakers cover nutrition, injury prevention, and gait analysis. Past program graduates show up on runs to offer encouragement from their own experience.
