Run Better, Run Smarter Workshop

The Run Better, Run Smarter Workshop is a comprehensive hands‑on (feet-on?) training experience designed for runners of all levels—from first‑timers to seasoned athletes preparing for fall races like the Army Ten-Miler, Marine Corps Marathon, and National Capital 20 Miler

All attendees will receive $35 off registration for the Army Ten Miler. (You must register at the workshop to receive the discount.) We'll also have a giveaway for free entries for the Army Ten Miler and the National Capital 20 Miler.

This workshop brings together industry experts, including:

  • Certified running coaches offering guidance on pacing, training plans, speed work, and race strategy
  • Personal trainers and HYROX specialists teaching strength, conditioning, and hybrid‑fitness essentials
  • Physical therapists and chiropractors providing movement assessments, injury‑prevention insights, and mobility tips
  • Sports nutrition professionals sharing fueling strategies for training, racing, and recovery

You’ll rotate through interactive stations where you can ask questions, get personalized feedback, and learn practical techniques you can apply to your training—whether your goal is to run your first 5 minutes without stopping, shave minutes off your PR, or build the hybrid engine needed for HYROX.

We’ll also keep you fueled with a light breakfast, and we'll have a door prize drawing at the end of the workshop.

If you’re looking to run stronger, train smarter, and feel more confident heading into fall racing season, this workshop is your starting line.

The workshop is free, but we encourage you to register ahead of time as we have limited spaces available.

Where: Balance Gym, Buzzard Point, 101 V Street SW
 
When: Check-in will open at 9:45 a.m. The workshop will start at 10:00 a.m., so try to arrive a few minutes early.
 
Balance Gym: Below is a map that shows a star on it, which is the entrance to the gym. If you use Google Maps, it will take you to the right block, but not the actual entrance. The gym is down a walkway (see picture below). The walkway is near the corner of V and 1st Street. We will have people outside to direct you to the gym. 
 
Metro: We strongly suggest using metro given the road closures in DC. The gym is between the Navy Yard (Ballpark) and Waterfront Metro Stations. It's about a mile walk.
 
Parking: There is street parking in the area as well as parking garages. There are games at Audi Field and Nationals Park tomorrow, but they don't start until 3 p.m., so we don't expect traffic to the games to be an issue. There are also street closures in DC, so allow extra time if you're driving.
 
Feeling hungry? We will have a "runners" breakfast tomorrow with coffee, OJ, bagels, and some other light snacks.
