Organiser's Description
We will meet at Washington-Liberty high school track [https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Locations/Parks/War-Memorial-Stadium]. There will be EIGHT PRACTICES/MEET-UPS: four (4) track-based workouts and four (4) low-intensity group neighborhood runs. All kids who finish the program will receive a medal.
SCHEDULE:
Thursdays from 5:30-6:15pm.
April 10th, 24th; May 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th; and June 5th. _Note there will be no practice on April 17th, which is over APS's spring break._
We will alternate weeks between a higher-intensity track-based workout and low-key neighborhood groups runs of 1.5-3.5 miles. _**If the track is closed due to a spring sports event, we may switch days with a group_ _run_.
* Kids ages 10 & over may run without a parent/guardian, though they must stick with at least one adult for neighborhood routes; if your child is under 10, I would ask that you come along for those runs.
* Pace for group runs will be a relaxed conversation pace - if you run with your kid(s) and want to go faster, have at it. Pace for track workouts will vary according to the workout, but the kids can expect some sprinting and/or strides!
* Parents run along for free - you don't need to register and run at your own risk, of course, but the more, the merrier!
* The kids will all receive a small snack/treat at the end of each meeting - if you prefer your child not have that, please let Kate know.
Track work may include: proper warm up technique, basic strength moves, running drills, form work, sprint repeats, endurance laps, and/or practice races. Parents are encouraged to join both track work and the group runs!
