Clinic Details
The 5K Learn to run group is designed to progress participants from zero running experience to 30 minutes non-stop after 12 weeks. The Half Marathon clinic is designed for runners already able to run 10K continuous and who now want to learn how to run both longer and faster. Most importantly, Wednesday workouts teach participants to use more than just one gear in their weekly running schedule. Clinic participants will be given a weekly training schedule designed by 2:17 marathoner and clinic leader Jerry Ziak. The schedule will be based on running three times a week with Monday's and Saturday's workouts to be done on your own.
Call Forerunners at 604-732-4535 (W. 4th) or 604-982-0878 (North Van) for more info or to sign up.
