Run University offers programs for those who are new to running, returning to running or to athletes looking to advance specific fitness goals.  An important by-product of the running is in understanding the importance of short and long term goals and how they can increase the gain in self-confidence, self esteem as well as self-empowerment.  As you progress you will discover within yourself the ability to persevere, your own determination and the self-satisfaction that comes from a job well done!

Beginning Runners Training- Running 101

Many people decide to start running and they (for whatever reason) select a 3 or 4 mile run to start with! They lace up some old tennis shoes they’ve used for cutting the grass--Chuck Taylor Converse All Stars, or (ladies) their old Reebok aerobic shoes, and off they go! That first mile is exhilarating, but that last mile is excruciating! They get back and they have a ‘side stitch’, their knees ache and they are gasping for air. They take a hot bath and fall into bed. The next morning they get up and as their feet hit the floor they sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies (snap, crackle, pop); their legs and joints ache and they declare, “Running is not for me, it’s too painful!” Well, no wonder!

Danny’s Running 101 program is based upon ‘adaptation.’  Each new runner begins with walking and running,well, okay, ‘slogging’ (slow jogging), and and as each week passes they walk a little further and run a little further, then he or she runs a little more and walks a little less until it’s all running all the time! Each day, each run is another opportunity to conquer your own doubts. It’s not a big thing much like a brick is no t a big thing, but a lot of bricks put together will become a wall and a lot of runs put together will become a 5K or 10K and a new, improved you. The Running 101 program is also available to organized groups, churches and corporations through RunUniversity.
