The Burroughs Running Club Youth Running Program will be coached by Mr. Boeser (Burroughs Band and Orchestra Teacher) and Mr. Chet (Burroughs Art Teacher). The runners will run from Burroughs to: the shores of Lake Harriet, along the banks of Minnehaha Creek, along the Minneapolis Parks pathways, up and down the grassy hills of Newton Hill, climb the American Ninja Warrior Wall, run through beach sand/water and just run, run, run. We will focus on getting to know your body and team building as students train for 5K Races. This running club will have an emphasis on training methods, runners etiquette and having fun. Listed are a number of activities and concepts we will be addressing: warm-up and cool down, stretching, pacing, field work, interval training, sprinting, hills, short and middle distance running, cross country endurance running, training in sand and water, healthy fitness and nutrition habits and other wellness concepts, speed and agility, strength training, runner safety, breathing, heart rate monitoring, how to dress when running and much more. Sessions begins with a getting-on-board and a warm-up activity that brings the runners focus onto the day's topic. The warm-up is followed by a stretching routine that allows for a topic-related question and answer time. Then, during the workout period (30 to 40 minutes), the runners participate in a variety of running activities that utilize a game or a team goal. Each session will afford runners the opportunity to choose a more advanced run for those students that would like to challenge themselves and give max effort on longer runs. Please bring: Note for classroom teacher is required - stating your child is to go directly to the gym after school, jacket, gloves or mittens, hat, shorts, t-shirts, running (preferred) or gym shoes will work fine, sweat pants/sweat shirts, snack to eat before each session and a water bottle.
