The SoleKIDS curriculum is updated annually based on feedback from coaches, athletes, and experts. There are two practices each week, averaging 90 minutes each. Each week, we will focus on a subject about running. Your runner will learn things like the importance of positive thinking, running using the correct form, breathing control, and goal setting. Through the daily lessons and their workouts, your runner will become physically and mentally prepared for race day!

Week 1: Getting to the starting line.
Week 2: Running is just putting one foot in front of the other.
Week 3: Running is not about being better than someone else, it’s about being better than you used to be.
Week 4: Whether it’s a 15-minute mile or a 7-minute mile, it’s still a mile.
Week 5: Train hard to race easy, aka “The Hill.”
Week 6: You can’t win a race in the first mile, but you can lose it.
Week 7: Running slow isn’t a character flaw, quitting is. The last mile.
Week 8: Mettle! Ability to continue on in the face of adversity, Mental toughness! Getting to the finish line.
