Winter Warriors: 5K & 8K Beginner Program
Train through winter. Cross the finish line in spring.
Winter Warriors: 5K & 8K Beginner Program is a coached, beginner-friendly training group designed to help you stay consistent through the cold months and show up confident on race day. We’ll be training for the Shamrock Shuffle 8K in Chicago on March 22 and The Ringing In Spring 5k in Valparaiso, IN on April 4th.
5k Training starts on Saturday, Feb 21st with our first group run!
8k Training starts on February 9th and will meet for the first group run on Feb 21st!
This program is built for true beginners and returning runners who want structure, accountability, and a supportive team—not just a generic training plan.
How the Investment Works
The program is $50 to join, and that $50 is your commitment to yourself.
If you attend the scheduled group runs (you’re allowed to miss one for life and obligations), you’ll earn your $50 back at the end of the program
(minus any online payment processing fees).
If you miss more than one group run, you forfeit the $50—because showing up is where the real change happens. This is your investment in you, and returning your $50 is my investment in you.
When you join Winter Warriors, you get:
A detailed training schedule for true beginners with a walk/run, interval-based program
A beginner and intermediate running plan so you can choose the level that fits you best
A long sleeve Winter Warriors team shirt
Access to our private team app for communication, updates, and support
A full handbook-style guide with all the details and info you need for success
In-person group runs with guided warm-ups and support
Community and accountability from your fellow Winter Warriors
Race support and coaching with Coach Misty so you’re not doing this alone
If you’re ready to stay consistent this winter, build your confidence, and run into spring with a strong foundation, Winter Warriors: 5K & 8K Beginner Program is for you.
Once you sign up, you will be emailed your Winter Warriors Hand Guide immediately. Please read through it before we begin and ask any questions you have. Questions can be emailed to misty@mileswithmisty.com
