Adult Intro to Running - 5K Training (ages 18 )
Open to all abilities! This class is perfect for anyone who wants to start running, is coming back to running, or would like a group to run with. Throughout these 11 weeks, you will learn the basics of training for and running a 5k. At the end of the course, we'll run a 5k race together!
The course includes:
- 10 in-person classes/group runs lasting approximately 1 hour. Classes will include a dynamic warm-up, walk/run for 30min (or more), cool-down and "class time" held outdoors afterward
- Education, advice, and feedback from an experienced runner and certified running coach
- An 11-week running schedule to help keep you on track and prepare you for our ultimate goal – running a 5k (optional) at the end of the course!
The Healthy Hustle 5k is on Saturday, June 8, 2024. This is optional. Registration is *not* included in the price of this course and will need to be paid separately if and when registering for the 5k. (Price of registration is TBD, but was $20 in 2023.)
Equipment Needed: Proper running shoes and clothing, water bottle, GPS running watch or app on your phone (not necessary, but nice to have if you enjoy tracking your miles)
