This class introduces participants to the basics of trail running, including building aerobic fitness and hill-based strength training while improving agility and running form. Trail safety and etiquette will be emphasized in each class. We will visit various trails in the Oakland Hills with the goal of running comfortably up to 3 miles by the last class meeting.
Also, we provide plenty of shared online documents and resources to keep you engaged during class.
