Last call! On Tuesday, May 12th, our coaches will be leading a running form clinic, and this year they’ll also be joined by Dr. Angelo Accattato and Dr. Katie Zhong from Ascent PT. We’re offering multiple time slots—please sign up so we know how many people to expect in each group. We will take videos of participants running and the coaches will analyze them in slow motion and offer feedback. For those who still want to do a workout that day, there will be an option to run intervals while the clinic is happening. See the gram for the meeting location and the link to sign up!
