GENERAL INFO

CELEBRATE NATIONAL RUNNING DAY!

National Running Day is a national initiative where many of the major organizations within the running industry are joining forces in a unified effort to nationally and locally promote running as a healthy, easy, and accessible form of exercise. The inaugural National Running Day is Wednesday, June 3!
From New York to San Diego, the day will celebrate the benefits of running as part of a healthy and active lifestyle aimed at combating some of today’s most pressing health issues.
You can participate in National Running Day anywhere—Just go for a run on June 3, and encourage your friends to run with you. Wear your running shoes all day long, and if anyone asks, tell them about your run, National Running Day, and all the things you love about running!

THANK YOU TOM DRUM!

We would like to thank Tom Drum for a WONDERFUL seminar on Flexibility, Conditioning, Training (strength) and Recovery! Tom shared valuable information and demonstrated several exercises and stretches to help us increase our flexibility, endurance, strength and recovery in order to become better runners and walkers! If you’d like to learn more about Tom, or order any of his products, you can visit any of the local running stores, or visit Tom Drum

OUR SEMINAR THIS WEEK IS:PREPARATION FOR LONG RUNS BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOUR FIT COACHES AND ASSISTANT COACHES

Our first 10 miler of the season is just around the corner! New members, learn valuable tips to help you be ready for our upcoming long runs! Alumni, review strategies for long run success, and share your long runs experiences with our new members! This will be an interactive seminar where you can share what works and has not worked for you during the long runs. You don’t want to miss it! We will have a check list/handout available to help you be ready!

"TRAINING TIP OF THE WEEK:TRAIN AT THE RIGHT PACE FOR YOU!"

Our Saturday runs must be done at a comfortable pace for you. To know if you are training at the right pace, you can perform the “talk test”. While running, you should be able to keep up a conversation without gasping for air. If you find yourself having difficulty, or breathing heavily, we advise that you transition to a pace/group that will be much more comfortable for you. We want you to run comfortable and happy!:)
