Running 101
Wednesdays 5:30 - 6:30pm
September 9th – October 28th

Calling all those who want to learn how to run!  This beginner club is for you!  This 8-week learn-to-run program is specifically designed for those who want a gentle, progressive program that will slowly introduce you to the joys of running.  We will use a run/walk program that will build your endurance over the 8 weeks so that at the end of the program, you can run a 5km Fun Run! Participants will get one weekly coached session (Wednesdays) with 2 additional plans that they compete on their own for a total of 3 training days per week.  Each coached session will include:
​

• An active warm up to increase your heart rate and prepare muscles and joints for the work ahead
• Pointers and tips on pacing, breathing and technique
• Time based run/walk intervals slowly progressing in time and intensity
• Some speed and hill work to keep things interesting!
• A warm, welcoming and encouraging environment so you can be your very best!
• A cooldown period with some stretches at the end of the workout
• An amazing Run Club hat to show off and wear with pride.

​
Note: participants should be able to walk continuously for 30 minutes before joining this program.
