Better Body Workshop: Running Mechanics and Staying Injury Free

The first experience I had with how passionate Coach Sarah is about running and endurance athletics was at last years Jingle Bell Run. She runs in (literally, she ran from home, a little over a mile) about 10 minutes before the race, pulls some cash out of her pocket at the registration table (I think the registrars were a little bemused by the whole thing) dashes over to the start line, and promptly wins the overall women’s division! We are looking forward to having her share her passion and expertise at this workshop. As we head into the warmer weather and some of you tackle 5k’s and beyond for the first time, this workshop is sure to be a huge help in making sure you stay healthy and get better. Don’t Miss It! – Coach Dean

As spring is finally getting the upper hand, it’s likely there are many people who have been reaching for their running shoes.  The shining sun, the melting snow, the feeling that this big winter has come to an end, the races ahead…those are probably the motivating factors leading most people to start their running regimen.

“Just start running!” might be the training plan.  Sure, this is a great way to get yourself up and out into the wild, but it’s also a great way to injure yourself and set you back from reaching those goals for this season.

“You mean I can’t pick up where I left off in the fall?”  Nope.  Some of you parents might be familiar with the term “terrible twos.”  Well in running, we have the term “terrible toos.”

Too much, too soon, too fast.

Without an adequate knowledge of proper form, correct shoes, and training philosophy, you’re likely to get injured by your own motivation!

Do you want to start running?  Are you a runner?  Is your child a runner?  Are you interested in getting stronger, faster, and healthier so you can close the gap between you and your running goals?

If so (and you know you are), join Get Fit NH for our seminar “Better Body Workshop – Running Mechanics and Staying Injury Free”. We will talk about footwear, proper gait, common injuries and how to avoid them, training strategies and much, much more.

“A 12 minute mile is just as far as a 6 minute mile.”

Don’t be scared, don’t jump in too fast, don’t underestimate your potential…be a smart runner.

I look forward to seeing  you there- Make It Happen!
