Run After School is an after school running program available for 4th to 12th grade for experienced and new runners that focuses on coaching students how to maintain an active lifestyle through running and participating in physical activities.  Participants will be introduce and explain what an active lifestyle looks like; what are the healthy and physical benefits and help students on how to set goals and work independently and/or with a group to achieve their goals.  The goal for each runner will be to maintain an active lifestyle both with and without the club.   Through this program we hope to maintain students off the streets, gangs any criminal activity.

Our program will meet 2 or 3 times per week for practice and at least once a month for an organized event. Practice will be between 30 to 90 minutes long and divided into warm-ups, workout and cool down.  As the season progresses and longer runs are necessary the club will meet on weekends and practice can be as long as three hours.

During the warm-up time runners will be instructed to running topics and taught how to stretch and do several core exercises to help them with their upper body strength.  The workout will be the main part of the practice where runners work on building endurance to facilitate their completion of half marathon.   The cool down will be a 10 to 15 minute session where athletes will review the day’s topic and share their feeling about the practice and/or any improvements they are seeing.
