Program Summary – Flying Feet, coordinated by coach Dave Griffin, is a running program for runners of all paces and experience levels.

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.
