PEAK Golden Gallop Program

PEAK Golden Gallop Prep Session

Run with family or friends, but make this your best 3.1 miles yet! Peak  Performance Running is offering a 7 weeks kid-focused training program to help them feel ready to run the full 5k on race day beginning August 5th. You will be a part of a fun and supportive kid running community training to encourage each other and run fast on race day. You can join 1 day a week or up to 4 days a week which includes 3 running days and 1 strength day! Whatever best fits your schedule! We believe consistency of at least 2 days a week is needed to build your child’s confidence and ability, but we know kids activities are busy and running is a great supplement 1 day a week if that is all that works.

Building Stronger Athletes

For many years there was a myth that strength training at a young age would stunt a young athletes growth. After 7+ years of putting young bodies in a controlled environment with a focus on progressing the basics, and encourage athletes to focus on being controlled, skilled, and deliberate in their practice we have seen great success. The weight room is a place where young runners can build more than strength, they can build confidence with every rep. Lead by Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach Katie Whidden - each session is focused on progressing the basics. We’re not focused on being flashy or hiding behind complicated words - we’re here to develop an athletes skillset so they can grow and become athletes that know how to move around a weight room with confidence.

To build stronger, more capable athletes - we have our athletes over the age of 10 in the weight room weekly on Tuesday evenings.

It all points to an end of September Golden Gallop 5k with opportunities to race shorter distances along the way.

We participate in a number of meets across the front range in September and October to prepare for the State, Regional, and National Cross Country meets in November and Early December. Cross country is a team sport and athletes qualify to national as individuals and teams. We are always focused on participating as a team - every point counts!
