Beginning Running is our Specialty!
In-Person Beginning Running
Thought about running but not sure how to start? Are you a little hesitant thinking you can’t do it or you’ll be too slow? Worried you’ll get lost in a big group?
RunnerDude’s Beginning Running is just what you need. This 12-week program uses a run/walk interval method that begins with more walking and ends with you running 30 minutes straight with no walking. The focus of this program is not pace or distance and it’s not just to get you to a 5K. We spend time running with each runner over the course of the program, answering questions, checking form and just providing good support. The focus is building endurance and confidence as a runner while learning good running form that will last you a lifetime.
