Running

Running as recreational activity has grown tremendously over the last number of years. This is most evident as the number of running races at the various distances (5 km, 10 km, 1/2 marathon, and marathon) can be found almost every weekend. Participants in these events have grown increasingly more interested on how to best prepare for their selected events. 

Program Specifics

The PEAK Centre Running Program was developed out of the increasing need of runners who were not content with training programs and inaccurate training zone development so prevalent in books and throughout the internet. This generic approach to running not only can be unsafe, but can also limit a persons improvement over time.

Utilizing running specific fitness testing, and event specific training program development and implementation, the PEAK Centre Running Program can ensure that training plateaus do not occur, and event preparation and completion can lead you to a personal best performance.  

"Running has always been something that I just did. It was not until I tried to unsuccessfully prepare for a 1/2 marathon on my own that I realized I was not training properly. The PEAK Centre Running Program has helped me stay injury free, and taken my running fitness to a level where I am actually racing my events instead of just participating"
