Horsetooth Half Season Officially Underway

Thanks to all who joined us for the kick-off to the 2019 RunningU Horsetooth Half Marathon training program!

Runners enjoyed a 4-6 mile run on the Poudre Trail with 200+ of their closest friends, followed by New Belgium drink specials, snacks, sponsor giveaways and a training presentation from our friends at Colorado In Motion.

See below for a series of 5 suggested strengthening exercises from Colorado in Motion designed specifically for endurance runners.

Group runs happen each Sunday, with much more information, runs, newsletters & more available for RunningU participants. See the full training schedule.

Some of the action at New Belgium snapped by Terry Grenwlege before and after the kick-off training run. View the full photo album from the morning’s run.

Become an Agile Runner

Snow on the ground means being light on your feet. This is a great time to focus on becoming an agile runner. This month lets focus on strengthening your core and leg muscles while improving your quickness and endurance.

The 4 square hop drill should be done on a flat surface. If you are new to these type of exercises, be sure to focus on good form and progress slowly to avoid injury.
