 "Thank you for helping me change my life! The CES coaches are incredible! What an awesome
experience the last three months has been for me. I am still on Cloud 11 and haven't come
down to Cloud 9 yet. I am relishing in this incredible happening! I would never have believed
this was possible. In high school gym class I hid behind the track posts during our running
sessions, and up until one year ago I had never even run a block! Now I am running a half
marathon!" |
Training Programs :: Learn to Run 
Learn to Run — Spring 2010Who says training can't be fun? The CES professional coaches will help you run or walk faster and farther, feel better about yourself and have a great time doing it! We take an individual approach to understanding YOUR goals and definition of achievement, then we coach you every step of the way.
We've created a custom, 10-Week Training Program designed to teach you how to start (and stick with!) a successful running program. No experience is necessary! If you're saying to yourself, "I've never run before—is this program for me?", then we want you! If you can walk, you can join our program! We'll celebrate your achievements by participating in the following awesome event:
