CFAR’s “Running 101″

It’s back by popular demand – CFAR’s “Running 101″!!

In conjunction with The Waynesboro Area YMCA, CFAR is proud to offer its popular 4-week introduction to running.

Meeting every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 7-8 PM, from April 12 thru May 5, ”Running 101″ will address all things running (well, almost all things…).

Scheduled topics include (subject to change):

“The Basics” –  establishing the running habit with a 4-week “get-going training plan”, clothing, safety, warm-up & stretching.

“Next Steps” – running bio-mechanics, hydration pre & post meals and running lingo.
