Ready to go from the couch to crossing the finish line? Whether you're a brand-new runner or returning after a break, this class will guide you every step of the way toward running a 5K or achieving whatever running goal you may have. We’ll cover the basics of pace, stride, form, cadence, and heart rate, along with building endurance and setting realistic goals. You’ll learn how to layer clothing for different weather, choose the right shoes and gear, and follow a beginner-friendly training plan that balances challenge and recovery. We’ll also talk about the mental side of running: staying motivated, having fun, and even dealing with a little pain along the way. Students will be running on low-traffic roads in the Bronxville area. This class is designed to end just in time for students to participate in a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. (Please note, races are not included in the fee for the class.) All students should come to class with a goal in mind, whether it is a 5K or another personal achievement.
Please be advised that there are no facilities available as we run in residential neighborhoods.
