Eight weeks ago, 53 people, most of them non-runners, started group training with a goal of completing the four-mile run at last weekend’s Cooper-Young Festival.
“I’m proud to announce that we had 77 percent complete the race and 81 percent complete the program,” said trainer Star Ritchey of inbalance Fitness. “A couple of people were unable to do the race due to scheduling conflicts but did complete all the runs with us. Looking at the numbers, we had a few injuries, thankfully none caused by running, but out of all of our “starters” I can proudly say only five people actually quit the program with no reason other than they just decided it wasn’t for them.”
