What to Expect
Each session has two main parts:
Movement prep, drills and strength
This includes light stretching, mobility, balance work, isometric holds, plyometrics, and simple strength and elasticity work. The focus is on preparing the body to move well, not exhausting it. Often body weight or using Kettlebell weights.Run/Walk
From the Pavilion we will head out for a short run or run/walk option. Routes/efforts will vary week to week and may include flat sections, gentle hills, trails, or intervals. You can move at your own pace, stay together as a group, or break off as needed.
Some weeks the emphasis will be more on drills and strength. Other weeks the emphasis will be more on movement and distance.
