RUNNING CLUB
DON’T MISS OUT ON THIS ADVENTURE!
Running is an excellent cardiovascular exercise that allows the body to burn more calories per hour than any resistant workout. As the weather starts getting warmer, it becomes more and more ideal for people to get outside and exercise by stretching their legs. If you’ve wanted to start running or are already an active runner looking to push yourself, then Altitude PT’s Running Club is perfect for you. Our club is set up so anyone who is interested can participate. People who love running, want to challenge themselves, run longer distances, or have never tried running long-distance are welcome to join us as we train toward our goal. Every year, we train during the summer and early fall to participate in a race. This year, our focus will be participating in the FitOne 5K and half-marathon. Is this your first race, or are you nervous about running? Not a problem! We provide coaching from two of our physical therapists, Sean and Kayla, who are certified running coaches. Both have been running since their college years in TAKE A BREAK
multiple track events. Our coaches will give you tips and encouragement throughout this training program. Altitude PT will also treat any injuries that may occur during our training. The training also includes training videos, nutrition, hydration, warmups, cool-downs, suggestions on the right footwear, and specialized swag for all participants.
This year’s Running Club will officially kickoff at the end of April, so be sure to sign up! Sign-ups and more information regarding our club and running programs are found on our website. Get ready for a summer filled with fun, running, and achieving your goals!
