When starting a fitness program it is crucial to set obtainable goals. I've mentioned in the past, signing up for a few small races, as they are good indicators or your improved cardio-vascular endurance!
A few of you expressed interest in participating in a 5k run as a group. The benefits of training and entering the run as a group is the support and motivation we give each other. I've seen you all perform in class and I know what you are capable of...you just need a little push!
There is one coming up in at the end of March (28th), called The Dave Reed Spring Classic 5K, which would serve to be a good introduction to those new to running and a warm up for those wanting to complete the 10k Sun Run April 19th.
Registration for the Dave Reed Spring Classic is $25 before March 13th and $30 onwards. This will give us just over 2 months to train, which is just enough time if we get started in the next few weeks.
This particular run sports the beautiful scenery of Stanley Park! It begins at Lumberman's Arch and loops around a portion of the sea-wall. The course is flat, so you need not worry about any hills....although, we will still incorporate some hill training into our training, as it is important if you would like to continue racing in the future.
Your Commitment:
- 30 minutes, three times a week. Easy enough - you come to bootcamp class at least 3 times a week (M,W,F) as it is for interval training! Tuesday and Thursday evenings will be our 5k training nights...mixed with some strength training for a well-rounded workout...just think of the calories you'll burn!
- As a group, we can decide a time on Saturday or Sunday morning to meet at Central Park.

I will bring a sign up form to class if you are interested in participating in this upcoming run.
Make The Commitment You Won't Regret It!
