Join us for HCA's newest program! For less than $5/run, become a runner in no time!
The Absolute Beginners Run Club is a friendly, supportive program designed specifically for people who do not consider themselves runners. Over the course of 12 weeks, this coached, beginner level program starts with short, manageable run/walk intervals and gradually build toward completing 5K.
No experience required. The pace will be very slow (participants can speed up to their own pace if desired). The goal is to transform from a non-runner to someone who runs, and speed can come after the program is completed!
We'll begin with simple run/walk intervals (Our first run is intervals of 1 minute running, 1.5 mins walking). Each week we'll make small, manageable progressions that help build endurance and confidence without overwhelming participants. The coach will run with the group, manage the intervals, and guide the progression throughout the program.
Program Overview:
Sept 15 - Dec 8 (No run Oct 21)
3 weekly runs, 4 rest days.
1 group run per week, two runs on the participant's own schedule.
Group run: 6:30 pm Wednesday
