Free program for runners, taught by local experts

Running is great exercise. But you can get even more out of your running program year-round if you properly train for the sport – and train for the weather.

To help, CoxHealth will present the free program “Cross Training and Cold Weather Training for Runners,” Saturday, Jan. 28, from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m.

This program includes both a lecture and lab component. During the lecture, Dr. Shannon Woods, board-certified and fellowship-trained sports medicine physician, will discuss cross training, muscle confusion and injury reduction. Mark Millsap, MEd, RRCA-USATF certified coach, will give tips on cold-weather running including proper gear. Then, CoxHealth experts in physical therapy, athletic training and fitness will be on-hand during the lab session, where you can learn more about plyometrics, strength training and cross training – and participate in a Q & A with Dr. Woods.

This program will be held in The Meyer Center Conference Room, 3545 S. National. Please call 269-INFO or visit www.coxhealth.com for more information and to register.
