NEW!! HALF-MARATHON TRAINING CLASS!
 |
ARS friends and Learn
to Run graduates:
Make a New Year's Resolution you can keep! Run the Lehigh
Valley Half Marathon on Sunday, April 25th! Working on this resolution
will keep you fit, strong, and proud of your accomplishment. We will
help you get ready and you’ll have lots of support. All you need to
do is make a few commitments:
1) Sign up for the half marathon quickly,
as it does sell out: http://lehighvalleyhalfmarathon.com.
2) Sign up for our class (we need a minimum of 8).
3) Keep running
through the winter and be able to comfortably run 6-8 miles by the first
class on Feb. 27th.
4) Set aside Saturday mornings from Feb. 27th –
April 25th to train.
5) Tell all your friends so you will follow
through – and maybe talk them into it as well!
The plan is to meet on Saturday mornings at different locations around
Wyomissing, West Reading and Exeter at 8:30ish. Classes will be anywhere
from 2 – 3 hours in length. We will do all of our long runs together.
This class is designed for adults that can comfortably run 6-8 miles.
If you are looking for a great way to practice running 6 miles, sign
up for the Shiver by the River 10K races. This is a four race series
(Jan. 3rd, Jan. 10th, Feb. 14th, and Mar. 14th) with a 5k or 10k option,
(people doing the 10k run the course twice). There is a water stop,
so you will not have to worry about carrying your own water for the run,
plus there is a post-run buffet of soup, bagels and M&M's!!!! You
can find the application on the Pagoda Pacer website at http://www.pagodapacers.com,
under Race Applications.
The fee for the half-marathon training session is $90 per person and
includes the items listed below. The training, supervision and coaching
you will receive would be worth at least $350 if you were to enlist the
services of a personal trainer – so we hope you’ll agree that $90 is
a bargain!
 |
| You will receive: 1) Technical shirt 2) Spiral bound running log full of tips. 3) Customized training plan 4) Gels for your long runs & race 5) Help with pacing |
You will receive:
1) Be held accountable |
