Learn to Run

PLEASE NOTE: The 4K and 5K classes have been combined into one class that will take place Thursdays. 

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. This class 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? Activities will be modified with a focus on overall fitness and concludes with a 4K (2.5 miles) run at Fresh Pond on the Saturday after the last class.
