This 6-week program will encourage kids ages ~6 and older to focus on building their aerobic capacity & running endurance. Most sports Arlington kids play require running - either anaerobic bursts or more continuous aerobic efforts - so we will work on building their base!

DETAILS:

* TUESDAYS AT 5:30PM.
* Meeting at WASHINGTON-LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL TRACK and running at either the track or on a local neighborhood route - depending on the high school sports schedule. (_Coach Kate will email location information the day before each session_). Track sessions will focus on managing pace and completion of multiple laps over a given period of time. Neighborhood routes will be run at your comfortable pace.
* Starting SEPTEMBER 16TH and wrapping up on OCTOBER 21ST.
* Appropriate for kids AGE 6 AND OLDER, though if you have a younger child interested in joining, please reach out to Kate.
* Each session, we will focus on BUILDING RUNNING ENDURANCE through a focus on _running form and appropriate pacing_.
* Track meet-ups will involve a _5-10 minute warm-up and tutorial_, followed by _laps_. Coach Kate will help track their laps, and the kids will work to increase their total distance over the course of the program.
* PARENTS RUN ALONG FOR FREE - you don't need to register and run at your own risk, of course, but you are encouraged to join!
* The kids will all receive a POST-RUN SNACK at the end of each run.
* All youth runners will receive a COMPLETION CERTIFICATE at the end of the program.
