Service Description
Get ready to move, sweat, smile, and surprise yourself! This beginner-friendly Couch to 5K program lead by Tina Duplissie is designed to help you build confidence and endurance one step at a time — no running experience needed. With just 3 workouts a week and sessions lasting around 30 minutes, you’ll gradually progress from walking to running in a way that feels achievable, motivating, and fun. Each workout includes guided dynamic warm-ups to prepare your body, easy-to-follow run/walk intervals, and post-run cool downs with stretching to help recovery and prevent soreness. Whether your goal is to complete your first 5K, improve your fitness, boost your energy, or simply create healthy habits, this program meets you where you are. Expect encouragement, small wins, and plenty of “I can actually do this!” moments along the way. Lace up your shoes, take it one workout at a time, and let’s turn those first steps into something amazing. Note: This Couch to 5k class is scheduled to prepare participants to be ready to run in the Nordic Trail Fest on Aug 15. It could be a fun goal to run as a team. Participants do not have to run in the Trail Fest or could opt to run with a different team.
