Abe's Army Training Program
Abe's Army is a 12-week training program designed for runners and walkers. The initiative begins in late May and continues through August, preparing participants for a final event at the end of the season. The program is held in Springfield, Illinois, and requires membership in the Springfield Road Runners Club (SRRC).
The program offers training tracks for two specific distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km
Participants receive a performance tech shirt and a structured training plan with a printable log sheet to track progress. During the training period, water stops are provided for Monday sessions. The registration fee also covers entry into the Abe's Amble race, where finishers receive medals for both the race and the training program.
Additional features of the program include access to professional medical advice regarding running and a private online group for training communication. Participants are organized into groups, and children under the age of 16 are required to be under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian within the same group. The season concludes with a catered picnic in a park and includes a discount at the local running center during the program's duration.
