What makes running fun?
Your first thought is that this may be a lot of running. Well, you’re right it is. However, once you get used to the running, it is actually loads of fun. What makes it even better is that you get to compete and grow with your friends. It is all about finding out what kind of a runner you really are. So, if you’re ready to learn strategy and form as well as getting stronger, faster, and in better shape, why not join? What do you have to lose? Other than your legs of course…
How much running will you actually do?
Every day will be a different type of run. This will include hills or overpasses, long runs up to 5 miles, interval or speed endurance, tune-up or medium runs up to 3 miles, and short recovering runs. I guarantee that you will become a strong runner and a strong person. Races are 1.4 to 3.1 miles.
Who is the coach?
First time runner?
There is nothing wrong with being a rookie. You have to start from the bottom in order to reach the top. Coach MarQuan understands that it is a process and that everyone has a different background, work ethic, and growth pattern. Everyone will be treated with fairness and patience. All you have to do is try you best and you will yield results. You might actually turn out to be a natural runner.
