The RRCA Start to Run Program

Season 1 Episode 3- RRCA Start to Run

Hey there Running Friends!

In this episode, I talk about the RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) Start to Run program. I am certified as a running coach by the RRCA, and direct new runners to this program.

The plan utilizes the Run/Walk method to get you out the door and running only 1 minute for every 5 for the first week, until you are running for 30 minutes by week 10.

Some of the specifics I cover are:
