First Strides® is a gradual 10-week program that will help you comfortably progress to a healthy habit of walking, jogging, or running at a pace that is right for you.
First Strides® meets weekly, please come dressed for activity. Our workout program is formatted with:
- Local experts offering short fitness and wellness presentations on topics ranging from nutrition to what to wear to injury prevention
- Gentle warm-up exercises
- Group walk/run (determined by pace)
- Post-work out stretch
- Tips, techniques, and guidance from group mentors
Our mentors are First Strides® graduates, Women’s 5K Classic committee members, Lehigh Valley Road Runners (LVRR) members, and more importantly, fellow women who enjoy walking or running with you!
We run two programs during the year, a spring session that goes from late March to early June and a fall session that goes from late July to early October. You can participate on Tuesday evenings, Wednesday evenings, or both!
