"Couch to 10K" Training Session for UAB Dollars for Scholars 5K/10K
Danny Haralson's popular "Couch to 10K in 10 Weeks" training session will be offered beginning Sunday, February 17th. 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 has successfully coached over 1,000 runners in the Birmingham area, taking them off their couches and preparing them to complete a 10K. 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, 10K's and triathlons.
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.
The cost of the program is $49. 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 training session will include one evening run, one morning run, and one weekend run so that everyone can find a convenient time to participate.
