This Spring, Take Steps to Run Your Best
John Hudak
New running classes have begun. The classes will serve as a starting point for beginners, or points of reference for intermediate and advanced runners (it never hurts to return to a "beginner's mind"), and are open to runners or runners-to-be age 15 and above. Running gait will be examined and corrected in relation to posture and alignment. You can enjoy your running more with correct form! I also emphasize the need for stretching and muscle release after every run, with body weight exercises, foam rolling, and other modalities presented for daily use. In all classes, I teach running with a steady quick cadence, which doesn't allow for over-striding, saving the hips, knees and ankles from unnecessary stressing.
There is a 9:30am class on both Saturdays and Sundays throughout the summer. Other classes will be added at the preference of the participants, so if you can not make it at those times, please e-mail with preferred times. All classes will begin with a dynamic warm-up, running on the aqueduct or track, and end with a cool down. Classes will start and end at HERO, 62 Main Street, Dobbs Ferry.
Please contact me via e-mail (the envelope icon at the top of all my website pages) to join a class; arrange for a free posture screening and fitness assessment (required prior to attending the first class); or for any comments, questions, or suggestions.
Have a look at the other parts of my website as well. I have a page called "Songs4Running," where I suggest (and hopefully others) songs that have a beat to run to if you like running while listening to music. I also have a page that I will be undating, listing local running races.
Best,
John
