The goal of this program is to set you up for success in reaching your running goals. 4running focuses on a combination of motivation, technique, conditioning, and recovery to keep you consistently running strong and injury-free.

Would you like to improve your running economy by learning to run more efficiently?

Have injuries derailed your attempts to improve as a runner before?

Would you like to learn how to fuel your runs?

Do you want to strengthen & condition your body for achieving better results?

If you’ve answered “Yes” to any of the above questions, then your next step is to join the 4Running Run Clinic.

4running is a Four Week Run Clinic beginning on August 5th, 2021 and is designed to help you take your running to the next level in a way that won’t exhaust or overwhelm you.

It consists of only 4 sessions on Thursdays (August 5, August 12, August 19, and August 26) at 6pm. These sessions may be covered by your extended health plan.

This program is unlike any other run clinic offered in the Greater Victoria area and can be done alongside any other fitness program or run clinic that you are currently a part of.

Participants who complete the 4running Run Clinic will feel confident joining any other group running program that’s available to them.

For ONLY $85 for 4 sessions, you will receive high quality instruction from qualified industry professionals who are passionate and knowledgeable about running.

Please register early as this run clinic is LIMITED to 12 people to keep the group small in order to provide more personalized instruction as well as ensure the safety of all participants.
