Getting Started
We’re excited to launch our Summer Learn (or Return) to Run clinic. We’ve got a small, friendly group with a great mix of experience levels — some brand new to running and others returning after a break.
Our first session will be more of an orientation: a chance for us to get to know you as athletes and for you to get to know us as coaches. We’ll also go over the program together.
The Learn/Return to Run group will head out for an easy 20–30 minute run using 1 minute run/walk intervals. From there, we’ll build the training plan together.
Historically, I’ve found that after meeting the group, the plans often need a little adjusting — and that’s part of the process!
Below are the key details to get started:
What to Expect
Our clinic meets every Wednesday evening for a training run and a short lesson on a running-related topic, such as shoes, pace, or form. We attract various participants with different running experiences, goals, and commitments. To ensure everyone’s success, we aim to provide flexible, personalized support tailored to your fitness level and lifestyle.
Our friendly and approachable coaches and run leads are committed to helping you achieve your goals. If you have questions or need adjustments, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
This website will be your go-to resource for training plans, articles, videos, and important updates throughout the program.
