word on the street
"My last 10K was 30 years ago. I am thrilled to have run the bridge [Across the Bay 10K]. Thanks to the training program I enjoy running and hope to run a 5 and 10 miler within the next 6 months. Training made it possible for me to stay focused and improve weekly." - 10K Training Group Runner
