Description

This mini workshop will give you the basics on how experienced coaches develop training programs for runners to peak towards a goal race. Coach Heike McNeil will cover topics like how many miles you should run and what paces to run on different days to stimulate different energy systems. And most importantly, Heike will cover how you synthesize all of these factors into a cohesive plan that actually helps you accomplish your running goals and increase your fitness. The next three workshops will be focused on injury prevention and mobility with Jesse Klein, DPT (Jan. 30), proper fueling for health and performance with Shira Evans, RD (Feb. 6) and sports psychology (Feb. 13).
