Hit the Ground Running

  • "Hit the Ground Running" is a 6-session strength training course to help participants transition from Winter sliding activities back to the roads and trails.  This pre/early season course focuses especially on core stability and leg strength to improve mechanics and prevent common overuse injuries. 

  • This course is intended for participants interested in reducing overuse injury risk and improving performance while running. This course may also be appropriate for non-runners (walkers/hikers/backpackers) as reasonable activity modifications and progressions will be offered to help participants meet their needs and goals. All levels of experience are welcome.
