class descriptions

Beginning
Designed to take women from “couch to 5K”. Class starts with  “1 minute run 5 minute walk”  intervals and gently increases.  Initial workouts will take about 35-40 minutes  working up to 45-50 minutes.  Prerequisite is ability to walk briskly for 30 minutes non-stop. This is a 12 week program and costs $119.

Intermediate
Continues on where beginning program left off. Prerequisite is ability to run 30 minutes non stop or 30 total running minutes in a run/walk workout.  Runs will take about 50-55 minutes total time and intervals will include more running and less walking than beginning program. This is a 10 week program and costs $99.

Step It Up
Designed as a class to improve endurance and speed by playing weekly running games in addition to running intervals similar to the intermediate class.  Prerequisite is ability to run 45 minutes continuously or 45 total running minutes in a run/walk workout. This is a 10 week program and costs $99.

Half-Marathon
Designed to help you cross the finish line of a half-marathon.  The 10 week program follows a strict run/walk plan, with participants staying together as a group. Prerequisite is the ability to run 60 minutes in a run/walk workout. The cost is $119.

 

For women who have completed the beginning class, or who can run 30 total minutes in a run/walk workout, this class is designed to help you maintain your fitness over the summer.  The intervals in this class don't progress as they do in a traditional beginning or intermediate class, so participants can miss a week or two, and jump right back in without feeling behind. The cost is $75.

Not all classes offered at all times. Advance registration is required for all classes. Register in-person at Fleet Feet Davis or on-line through active.com.
