Every Body Can Run
An 8-week introduction to running and wellness for every body.
Everyone who runs has a runner’s body! Every Body Can Run is designed for individuals of all body sizes interested in learning to run. This inclusive program will focus on the basics of running and wellness as well as create a space of connectedness among participants to inspire and motivate new runners on their running journey. Join Wendy Zunitch and Shiobbean Lemme for this new program in 2024!
When: 8AM, 8 Saturdays from March 23 to May 11, 2024
Where: Berkshire Running Center, Allendale Underground, 5 Cheshire Rd, Pittsfield, MA
Cost: $50.00 for all 8 sessions. Attend 6 out of 8 sessions and earn a $25 gift card to BRC!
Each session will have two components:
1. The first 45 minutes will include a short grounding practice leading into the discussion of the day's topic as well as space for questions and mutual support. A different topic will be discussed each week. Topics will include…
- Shoes, attire, basic running terminology
- Mechanics of running
- Mindfulness
- Health at any size
- Importance of rest
- Nutrition and fueling
- Goal setting
2. Come ready to move! After the discussion, participants will engage in 20 minutes or more of running, walking, or other movement at their own pace. Early Spring in the Berkshires often means unpredictable weather! Berkshire Running Center has treadmills and cycles available for those preferring to remain indoors. Prior to beginning the program, participants should be able to engage in 20 minutes of walking and please check with your doctor before starting any new exercise program.
Every Body Can Run is not designed to be a weight management or race training program. These goals may arise for participants during the course of the program. Participants may be connected to additional resources and training specific to their goals. Berkshire Running Center has many opportunities for training and races.
