Grab your running sneakers and enjoy the company of other runners while working towards your individual goals. This running group will meet two times a week and will encourage you to run at least a third time per week. This is a continuation of our very successful fall Couch to 5k program. Runners with interest in running more than a 5k (3.1 miles) and/or improving on their 5k times will benefit from our group runs, coaching tips and accountability. Don't worry if you stayed inside this winter and haven't run in awhile. We will take it easy and will gradually increase mileage to reach your individual goals of running 4,5, or 6 miles! We will also be incorporating strength training into our sessions. If you have always wanted to connect with a running group this a great way to start.
