Learn to Run
There’s more to running than just “left, right, left, right, left, right.” Stretching, strengthening, and core control are all important parts of a healthy and balanced running regimen. But it really starts with your mind. We’ll show you how easy and simple it can be to establish a daily fitness routine. These classes stress proper running form, focusing on the lower back and core muscles. Learn how to track miles using your device or an old-fashioned notebook to achieve your fitness goals. Most classes meet at Spy Pond.
Fit to 5K: Get strong and stay injury free in this slow-moving, safely-progressing, and endurance-building nine-week running program, which builds up to a 5K (3.1 miles) that we will run together.
Fit to 4K: Not ready to commit to a 5K? This class focuses on overall fitness and concludes with a 4K (2.5 miles) run at Fresh Pond on the Saturday after the last class.
