Jenna Green works out every day, but she knew prepping for a 10-mile race would differ from a jog on the treadmill.

“In New York, if it’s a nice day, I try to run multiple miles, but I’ve only ever ran five so we’ll see how the 10 miles go,” the wife of Yankees pitcher Chad Green told Page Six from Florida on Wednesday.

Participating in Sunday’s New Balance Bronx 10 Mile, organized by the NYRR, Green joins several Bombers WAGs (wives and girlfriends) who will be running as a team to support the PitCCh In Foundation, a nonprofit started by pitcher CC Sabathia and his wife, Amber, in 2008, which gives back to the community and assists inner-city children.

“Last year was our first year of doing the Bronx 10 and it was so fun. We had over 52 runners that ran through the Bronx,” Amber explained. “And the Yankees WAGs are all supportive of each other. As much as we’re out there cheering on our men, we’re cheering each other on as well.”

To spread the word, Sabathia relied on the WAGs’ group chat.

“I did a text and said, whoever wants to run, it’s a great cause. We can fundraise and we can run in the Bronx, the city where the fans come out and cheer throughout the season,” she noted. “It’s kind of time for us to give back to the kids in the Bronx.”

As a lifelong fitness enthusiast, Jessica Knoles, the girlfriend of center fielder Aaron Hicks, was up for the challenge.

“[Fitness] has been a huge part of my life. I have a degree in nutrition, it’s my passion, it’s what I love,” Knoles said. “It’s definitely going to be fun. It’s a huge accomplishment, and I get to do it with some of the most amazing girls, and it means a lot to me.”

Currently six months pregnant, Knoles, who is expecting a boy in January, said she is feeling “really great,” and is eager to tackle the next hurdle.

“I was kind of nervous a little bit because I signed up for this race, probably eight weeks ago or so, so I was like, I feel great now, but I have no idea how I’m going to be feeling then,” she shared. “I truly feel amazing, and I have been able to stay active throughout my pregnancy.”

While the gym holds a special place in Knoles’ and Hicks’ hearts — “We actually met at the gym” — she’s ready to pound the pavement.

“It just makes it that much more of an accomplishment to say that I’m 25 weeks completing a 10-mile run,” Knoles said.

“I’m very excited to run, but very nervous,” revealed Nicole Holder, wife of Yanks pitcher Jonathan Holder. “I’ve never done a race before, so this will be my first experience.”

For Sabathia, however, her runner’s itch emerged following the 2014 New York City Marathon.

“Running through New York, it’s just one of those things that’s an experience you can’t … I can’t tell people about it, but you can’t get it until you’ve done it,” she expressed.

Though crossing the finish line is a top priority for the WAGs, so is the Yankees’ season finale against the rival Red Sox.

“We decided we’re all going to go to the Hard Rock and watch the game,” Sabathia revealed. “We’re going to run our 10 miles, get our medals and then cheer on each other, then go cheer on the guys.”

With the Yankees set to face the Oakland Athletics in the American League Wild Card game on Wednesday, Oct. 3, Green has also given a potential postseason some thought.

“Last year was my husband’s first playoff season, a lot of highs and lows, and such a great experience,” Green said of the Yankees’ 2017 run, which ended following a crushing 4-0 loss to the Houston Astros in Game 7 of the ALCS. “We don’t have any traditions yet, but maybe the more postseasons we have, the more memories and traditions we can make.”
