*PAST EVENT* (AB) Intro to Road Running

Event Details

Never run before or just getting back into running?

Come join us for Intro to road running workshop that will give you the basics to start on your running journey. Running may appear to be an intimidating sport, but we are here to show you running is for everyone and with the right tools and community you can grow to love it.

This workshop is for BIPOC people only.

No previous running experience is required so please feel free to join us. This event will be led by Chantelle Erickson, an ultra marathoner, certified running coach and personal trainer.

Chantelle will go over:

• Importance of a proper footwear
• Run/walk approach
• Polarized running for injury reduced training
• Warm-up
• Pacing/Rate of Perceived Exertion
• Cool-down
• Race Car model (covers fueling, strength training/prehab, mental toughness and endurance training)
• 5-10k goal setting and commitments

Chantelle will talk for about 30-45 minutes and allow for a 15 minute Q & A! This will be followed by a 3km or 5km loop along the elbow river pathways for a community run.

Note: This event will take place rain or shine. There will be some standing so come prepared with a yoga mat or chair.

This event is held in collaboration with On Running.
