Run for It!

This Saturday, June 9 at 8am, BodyByGeoff will begin Run for It! This free program is designed to bring together runners and would-be runners for a weekly run/walk and to act as an informative resource for questions about running and training. Above all, this is a chance to get out and meet people in your community who share your interest in getting out and getting fit!

Run for It!
There are typically two types of people: those who run and those who would only consider running if they were being chased by dogs--big dogs.

Whether you are running for the love of the sport or you're being chased down by the neighbor's rottweiler, there are many benefits to starting a running program.

Not a runner?
If you've got a pair of running shoes and some determination, you can be a runner: we will lay out a program for you and build up your strength and endurance. We'll start with intervals of walking with light jogging and eventually move up to running for extended periods of time.
