Race to the Finish!

Barefoot running is all the craze lately.  If you don't have the shoes or want to save your ego from wearing them, don't worry.  Here are some exercises to make your feet and calves strong enough to make it through that last mile:

• Squat Jumps (can add in weights for more resistance)
• Balance 
• Yoga poses, Bosu, Walk/Run on grass/sand
• Dynamic walking:
• Toes only, Heels only
• Calf raises: lift on your toes and lower back to the heels
• Parallel, Heels together toes apart, Big toes together heels apart 

Core Sport is hosting another C25K this year to prep you for the Wicked Halloween Run in Plymouth, MI (costume contest included).  Join us by registering today to learn more tricks to make your next run the fastest yet!

Plymouth YMCA Father's Day 5K 2011

Great job to everyone who came out to the Plymouth YMCA Father's Day run!  What a beautiful, summer day for a run.  Core Sport was there doing the 5K with our runner's group and had an amazing time.  We are excited to continue the tradition next year!

Happy Father's Day!

Walk, Run & Repeat

Thanks to the Couch to 5K program , Core Sport is on its 3rd annual free running group!  This year as incentive there is a local YMCA race on the final week for participants to really put their skills to the test. 

There is still time to attend the final weeks of the running group which meets on Sundays @7:15am at our Penniman studio.  Strollers and dogs are also welcome to join.  Remember to get in on the fun by volunteering or signing up for the Plymouth YMCA race on Father's Day (1 mile, 5K or 10K).  Core Sport will see you there!
