2010 Spring Beginner Running Clinic

Running is a great way to stay fit and reduce stress but it’s hard to get started on your own. Join our Beginner Running Clinic and we will have you running in no time. You’ll have a chance to run with other people who share similar goals and who knows, you might decide to enter the Astrazeneca 5K event at this year’s Scotiabank Calgary Marathon held on May 30.

2010 Spring 10K – Half Marathon Training Clinic

Starting Tuesday March 16th (download information)

We would all like to train hard and run that perfect race where we set a personal record. Unfortunately we often don’t know the best way to train. This clinic is designed to take the experienced runner to the next level. Not to increase distance as much as to decrease time. Learn about interval training and tempo runs from respected coach Heather Wiebe, then pick your race from the many events offered at the 2010 Scotiabank Calgary Marathon weekend on May 30.

All clinics start at 6:30pm from the store.
