This week I spent some time putting together a plan for the "Couch to 5k" program I will be leading starting in February. The 12 week program will be in conjunction with the YMCA's "Press Play" program that began this fall. It's geared towards helping adults get back to leading an active lifestyle. "The series invites adults in their 40s or older — YMCA patrons and non-members alike — to join a bootcamp that helps get them back in shape. The 12-week training sessions would end in time for the participants, if they choose, to sign up for the regular season of the corresponding sport" (see Delaware Gazzette Article).
I am an avid runner, so this progamming was a natural fit for me to lead. I will help the group through a 12 week progam designed to help anyone complete a 5k race (3.1 miles). This can seem very intimidating to some, but can be a great challenge to start off the new year! My program will focus on a walk-run strategy that can be adapted to suit any running level. I am very excited to lead my own program and look forward to a successful session!
