Program Description
The Girls in Stride running program is designed for beginner and advanced runners. The girls will be introduced to the concepts of goal setting and planning, proper running preparation, mechanics of running, journaling of training, nutrition and mental preparation. Upon completion of the training, girls will be prepared to finish an official race.
Training sessions will include a warm-up/cool-down activity, stretching routines, laps around the park, and running games/workouts that utilize a team goal. Our running training program will also include games and drills that emphasize power, stability training, endurance and agility. This type of training will complement the instruction your daughter is receiving within other sports. This type of training will make the girls more productive on the playing field as well as establish a diverse base of strength that will help prevent the injuries so common with young female athletes.
The girl's distance and/or running times will be tracked during each session so that progress towards their goals may be reviewed. Each weekly session will include an educational component as well as nutrition tips, quizzes, challenges and a home exercise assignment through our website.
