Pick Up the Pace - 9 Week Session beginning March 7th
Wednesday and Fridays @ 5:30am
Pick Up the Pace & Heart Rate
Looking to increase your mileage, gain more muscle and endurance, or just want to move yourself off of your couch? Then consider “Pick Up the Pace & Heart Rate” and joining a fun group of 5K novices during the early morning hours to learn how to gradually pick up your pace from a walk, trot, or jog to a run! This class will take brand new runners to their first 5K, as well as condition intermediate runners to a higher mileage run, like a 10K or 10 mile race!
Couch to 5K
In order to tear yourself away from the couch and start hitting the pavement, you should ease into your running program gradually…The AWG Couch to 5K beginners' program is less of a running regimen than a walking and jogging program. The idea is to transform you from couch potato to runner, getting you running three miles (or 5K) on a regular basis in just two months. The training consists of meeting as a group twice a week, and then expects participants to log at least one other training each week. Each class involves a good stretch and running tips for race day!
Going the Distance
This 9-week program is designed to help increase cardiovascular endurance to start tackling some of those more advanced races and/or improve your running performance and speed. Enjoy fun runs starting at 3 miles and gradually increasing to 6 miles, speed and agility training, hill-specific strength work, and lots of great tips and articles related to being the best runner you can be!
*Participants must have completed the Couch to 5K training, or be able to run a comfortable 3 miles faster than a 13-minute mile pace, in order to sign up for this program.
Train to Maintain
Have you accomplished a goal this past Summer or Fall of running your first 5K, 10K or even a Half Marathon? Are you afraid that you might lose your endurance and strength over the cold winter months? Then you need to join the AWG Train to Maintain program, being held at the Midtown Studio on Wednesday and Fridays from 5:30am to 6:30am! The class is designed to maintain your body for running, by using agility and plyometric exercises, as well as strength training to ensure that you stay conditioned and motivated, to compete in Spring races – ready to cross the finish line with an improved time and confidence!
