OVERVIEW In the sport of running, the Physiology of running is just half of the sport. Sure, it is important to know how far, how fast and how often to run, so that you can improve your aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. But the other half of running—the Biomechanics of running—is equally important.
Created and taught by Coach Mindy, Runditioning™ is a strength and conditioning class that works on learning “how-to-run” by incorporating running-specific movements and exercises to improve running form and prevent injuries. The exercises are performed on functional training equipment, and with your own body weight and work on the following:
RUNNING TECHNIQUE ON FLAT GROUND, UPHILL, DOWNHILL Overall Posture
Head, Eyes & Shoulder Position
Arm Swing
Hand Position
Stride Length
Stride Frequency

NOTES • The 60-minute class is designed to accommodate all levels.
• The class is (mostly) held indoors at The Running Center, although we venture outside to add variety in comfortable weather.
• You may come dressed to workout, or you may change in our dressing room.
• We supply locks and lockers.
• The class is personalized as best as possible within the group setting.
• Although you may take one class at a time, it is best to take a series of classes to get the full effect of the conditioning.
