Welcome Running Mamas!

If you've ever dreamed of making it through the finish line but don't know how to get started, this program is for you. This class is designed for the beginner and to accomplish a 5K run (3.1 miles). You'll learn about running form, injury prevention, increasing speed and distance, and choosing the right shoe. You will be able to bring your child(ren) in a jogging stroller preferebly.

Classes will meet for 12 weeks and will finish with a 5K Race - which will probably be a food run to favor a local charity. We will meet one day per week and you will run 1-2 days per week on your own. It is important that you commit to the program, or you probably won't be able to run your race at the end of the 12 weeks.

Training Schedule: This training regiment is first based on time. You may start with a walk, then walk/run, followed by running the whole time. During weeks 9-12 the focus will be mileage. We have built in some days of rest, please take advantage of these days and not run. It is fine to do some cross training on these days: Stroller Strides, swimming, cycling, etc. You may feel a little soreness in the first few weeks.

Pricing for the whole program: $80 for Stroller Strides Members (this pricing is valid for former members as well!). You do not need to be a Stroller Strides member or come to classes to participate, however the price is $100 for non members. Includes Stroller Strides Race T-shirt.
