5K Starter Steps (level 0) with Tegan starts Friday, May 17 at Kaizen! Class on Fridays 615-745pm.
I want to run but. . .
1.I’m overweight and heard running can be dangerous for my joints.
“Too fat to run” is a myth! Your bones and joints are built to carry you; what matters is your form- not your fat %.
If your knees are collapsing in (at any weight) you’ll damage the knees.
This 5K Starter Steps program trains proper biomechanics to move safely.
2. I have social anxiety about people seeing me struggle.
This is not a boot camp. And struggle is not failure. This is a program created to support you where you are bringing movement into your life.
We recognize this fear of getting started and are building a community rooted in the same intention- to be supported where you are while working towards where you want to be!
This is not a boot camp. And struggle is not failure. This is a program created to support you where you are bringing movement into your life.
3. I’ve never run before and don’t know where to start.
Here! This is a program created for those starting with little current movement and zero running experience.
With a combined 40+ years movement experience, Tegan and Mindy are here to make the process accessible, understandable and progressive. We are ready to meet you where you are!
4. I have injuries/pain I’m scared to make worse.
Pre/rehab is 50% of the program. Informed by Mindy’s experience with clients healing back pain, foot pain, knee pain, and her personal experience rehabbing her ACL after reconstruction.
The goal of the program isn’t finishing a 5k- it’s to set yourself to move well from walking to 5k and beyond!
5. I’m out of shape and don’t want to slow down the group.
There’s no first/last in a circle! Coach Tegan specifically chose track training over road running to take this worry off of the table. GO AT YOUR OWN PACE!
