"Couch to 5K" Training Session for UAB Dollars for Scholars 5K/10K
Danny Haralson's Running 101 (also known as the "Couch to 5K") training session will be offered beginning Monday, March 9. The UAB National Alumni Society is proud to announce that Haralson's targeted race for this training course is our own UAB Dollars for Scholars 5K/10K.
Danny Haralson uses a unique method of humor, information, and motivation while encouraging runners to slowly build from a combination of both running and walking to constant. This emphasis of the program is not speed. Instead, it is about covering the distance and progressing as a runner and a new athlete without the pain and soreness that is frequently associated with running. Haralson is a not only a certified running coach, but has also completed 45 marathons including the Boston, New York, and Honolulu races, as well as countless other half-marathons, 10Ks and triathlons.
Through the interaction of group runs, e-mails, his personal website (http://www.rununiversity.com/), and personal attention to the needs of each participant, Haralson will help you progress from running and walking, to running and walking a little further, and then finally reducing the walking until you are running all of the time.
The cost of the program is $49. An informational meeting will be held on Saturday, March 7 at 9:30 a.m. at the Trak Shack in Homewood.
