Women’s Running 101 Program Description

The primary objective of our program is to encourage more women to participate in running to improve their general physical and mental well-being. This is a program for women with little or no previous exposure to running who wish to embark on a practical and sustainable running program. Running 101 is also beneficial to those looking to return to running after an extended layoff.

The Women’s Running 101 Program is conducted by veteran coaches who are experienced in training beginner and novice runners.

The Women’s Running 101 Program Directors are:
• John MacGillivray has been training and coaching beginner and novice runners since 1993. He is a certified coach through USATF (USA Track and Field) and ASEP (American Sport Education Program - the coaching program required for all scholastic coaches in 45 of the 50 states.) Coach John is the recipient of the 2004 Fred Lebow Award for Promoting Women’s Developmental Running presented by the Road Runner’s Club of America And the New York Road Runners Club.

• Elaine Hartung has been training and coaching beginner and novice runners since 1999. She is a certified coach through USATF and ASEP. Coach Elaine is also a Certified Personal Trainer.

The 12-week program meets weekly at the location and workout time you register for.
