Coach: Rebekah Clunie

I never ran growing up, but started running as a fitness goal for a health class in college. Slowly, after struggling to breathe and getting my legs to do with what my mind told me I should be able to do, I started to enjoy it.

I completed my first 5k at the end of the semester and felt great about my accomplishment. I wanted to know what else I could tackle: 10k, 10-miler, 12-miler, and half marathon so far. But my favorite thing to do is log a run whenever I go away; I leave my footprints and take some memories.

Life got busy with two kids so my running shoes were set aside for a bit. After a new size (pregnancy tends to do that) and new shoes later I’m back to running. I still enjoy seeing what I can do and what I can tackle next.

I would like to help you to discover what you can tackle too.

Description

The BWC Women’s Training Program is presented to prepare you for the MedStar Health Women’s Classic 5K presented by New Balance. Our goal is to provide a fun, inexpensive and supportive workout, and to encourage women to embark on a lifelong program of fitness.

The training is broken into four groups, depending on your own goals and physical condition. Whether you have yet to start a walking program, or are a seasoned runner looking to improve your race time, one of our groups will be right for you. We offer groups for:

  • Beginning & Intermediate Walkers

  • Walker to Run

  • Beginning Runners

  • Intermediate Runners

Our coaches will help you determine the best group for you. You are also welcome to change groups at any time during the program based on your progress or fitness level. There is a great deal of flexibility—you can alter the workouts to meet your needs—our coaches will help you find the right workout to achieve your personal running/walking goals.

Each week’s training session will be held for one hour and will include talks on a variety of fitness-related topics, a warm-up session and a great workout.  Participants also get a training premium at the end of the program if they attend 4 or more training sessions.

Training will start the week of May 13th and will conclude with the MedStar Health Baltimore Women’s Classic 5K on June 23, 2024
