    We have been offering beginner 5K training since we first opened in 2006. Our award-winning training program has been recognized for its excellence by New Balance Incorporated. We design our training for the true beginner and help you transition from walking to running. We use interval training (a mix of walking and running) so that your body learns to adapt to longer run intervals over time. By the end of the 8 weeks of training, you will be amazed at how much progress you have made!
