Keep Calm, Jog On

Students will learn proper running mechanics (posture and gait), and how to condition and pace themselves throughout a variety of workouts such as tempo runs, easy runs, interval training (speed and hills) and other training methods. At the end of the quarter, students will have the tools to develop their own training programs. Students will also gain knowledge on how to make intelligent choices that contribute to a healthy active lifestyle. Prerequisite: Students should be able to run continuously for at least 1.5 miles. If students can't run for 1.5 miles continuously, we recommend taking the following conditioning classes: PE 1: Indoor Cycling, PE 2: Cross-training, PE 5: TRX, PE 14: FUNctional Fitness Training, PE 7: Core Training, PE 8: Healthy Heart, PE 12 or 13: Weight Training, or PE 17: Total Body Training.
