An informational session for the Fall session will be held on Tuesday, 9/8 at 6:15pm at Xtra Mile Running to answer your questions! Well start with run/walk and gait analysis while increasing your endurance every week. In order to succeed we first must fail often!
THE WHY: The answer to this questions depends on what drives you. Are you internally or externally motivated? Are you looking to lose inches? Increase energy or fitness? Prove to yourself you can do it? Prove to the doubters that you will follow through? Understanding your motivation and keeping focused on that is just as important as your training. Don't be shy about the why!
