Hi Striders - I'm looking forward to our fall sessions.  6 weeks to a happier healthier you! 

I want to emphasize that this is a walk interval training program that is open to beginners and experienced walkers and joggers.  If you are road runner that strives to run without walk breaks you can use this training to build up your endurance but please plan to do so using walking breaks at a time interval that keeps you from a "forced" walk break.   You see "forced" walk breaks is the result of you pushing too hard for too long and your body forces you to stop or slow down to a walk.   Usually, we end up injured if we persist in this type of training. 

My recommended training program uses Walk Run Walk strategies to take a walk break "before" you get so tired you have to walk.   It is a healthier way to train for the average person.  We'll go over that before we get started tomorrow evening.

If you are a walker then to get the most from your walks you need to step up your walking tempo on a regular time interval to get a better cardio workout.  That interval can be adjusted according to your needs.  There are no rules....only guidelines.

Have you heard of my RunFit program?  Many road runners in the community have taken my classes and swear that they have set new personal records after participating in my classes.   If you are interested in a once a week training program that lasts for 12 weeks I can get you into great shape no matter where you are starting.  Click here to learn more.
