Hey everyone! My name is Emily Evans and I will be coaching the new walking group. I wanted to give a shout out and tell you a little bit about me what the walking group is all about.
If you want to start exercising to get more fit, this group is for you! You can train to walk a race or event, or just walk just to feel better physically and mentally.
Walkers, even though they aren’t running, still need proper footwear, apparel, accessories, etc. to maximize the benefits from their work out,
I don’t believe that everyone is a runner. I do believe that physical fitness is a necessity in life. My current motivation is my children. Especially my son who has an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Because of the demands of motherhood and especially the demands of having a disabled child I have to work out! I love walking!
This group is for everyone no matter what your current fitness level is. We will learn about a new topic each week. Topics include the benefits of walking, footwear, attire, accessories, hydration, nutrition, safety and preventing injuries. We will walk every class so come dressed to walk! Come and learn, socialize and get your walk on! Moms…bring your kids in strollers and joggers! It will be fun!!!
I’m new to the area and I’m looking for reasons to get my butt outdoors. Would this program compliment the Half Marathon training program? I’m a beginner runner who prefers walking to running, but enjoys races.
Yes, this would be a great compliment to the Half Marathon Training Program! Since you really only need to run 3 days a week to complete a half, then this walking class would be so great to help you get out the door on a day you don’t have to run.
