HTXO Couch-to-5K – Intro Session & Kick-off Fun Run

Time to kick 2019 off right with a new personal goal – to run your first 5K! Distance running has become such a trend in the last decade, and for good reason! Running has many physical and mental health benefits. It seems like it should be simple to just put one foot in front of the other, but it’s easy to be intimidated by all of the seasoned runners we see out on the roads and trails.

As usual, HTXoutdoors is here to make it a little easier for you by starting a group Couch-to-5K program. Doing it together takes away the intimidation and will make it a more fun and social experience.

A couple of basics to give you a general understanding of the program:
• Intro session to go over the program in more detail, discuss goals, and talk about distance running basics;
• Nine-week program with three (3) runs per week; one group run on Saturday mornings and two individual runs on your own;
• Weekly tips and guidance to help you stay on track;
• Dedicated Facebook group so we can keep in touch and help each other along;
• 5K race we will choose and participate in as a group.

Join us for this Intro Session and 1-mile kick-off fun run to get more details and meet fellow team members. You’ll have an opportunity at the Intro Session to join the team officially if you are ready to get started!

Meet at the Memorial Park Rugby Fields parking lot at 10am. Bring a camp chair and running shoes!
(In the event of inclement weather, we will do this online as a webinar, but I wanted to at least try to get us all together to meet in advance!)

PM me if you have any questions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have any medical conditions (cardiac, asthma, etc.) or injuries, PLEASE check with your doctor to get her/his OK prior to starting this program!
