Event Description

Program Summary – Flying Feet, coordinated by coach Dave Griffin, is a running program for runners of all paces and experience levels.  Griffin has over 40 years of running experience and over 15 years of experience coaching runners.  Flying Feet has two primary areas of focus: (1) Bring the training principles used by elite runners to the local running community.  Though some modification is needed for most runners, the principles of running success are universal, and local runners can gain significant benefits by using them and (2) Teach how running experiences can help a person live life more fully.  

Training Plans – Training plans will be provided for a variety of race distances.  The plans will include detailed instructions so that participants can use the plans effectively.  Fitness plans will also be provided and can be used by those who do not race but still want the support and encouragement of a group.

Coached Workouts – Weekly coached workouts will be offered in Westminster and Littlestown.  Each workout will be planned so that runners receive the training benefits required to prepare for target races.  In addition to the workout itself, instruction will be provided to help runners learn the fundamental concepts of training. These sessions will be held at 6:30 on Tuesday evenings in Littlestown and 6:30 Wednesday evenings in Westminster.   Saturday workouts will be held every 3rd week in Westminster.  A complete schedule of coached workouts will be provided at the start of the season.  

Flying Feet 5K – On Saturday, November 21, a 5K race will be held for Flying Feet participants.  There is no additional cost for this race.
