Spring into better health this May by participating in a free nine week "Couch Potato to 5K Runner" training program at Mansfield Crossing! The program kicks off on Tuesday, May 6th at 6:30pm by the Woodside Pond, and will continue every Tuesday and Thursday at that time through July 3rd.
Mansfield Crossing, located at 280 School Street (off Route 140), is sponsoring the Couch Potato to 5K Runner program, which will be held on the grounds of their scenic property that boasts a natural four-acre pond surrounded by a walking path.
The program, which is geared towards helping folks gradually get fit to run in a 5K (3.1 mile) race, will be led by Chrissy Carroll, owner of Inspired Wellness Solutions, LLC. Ms. Carroll, a personal trainer and marathoner/triathlete, explains that the program is geared toward beginners, although anyone can participate.
"The program starts by incorporating longer periods of walking with shorter periods of running. Each week, participants will do a little more running and a little less walking – and at the end of 9 weeks, they’ll be ready to run a 5K," says Ms. Carroll.
Participants in the Couch Potato to 5K Runner program will receive complimentary training plans and enjoy weekly coached group workouts at the scenic pond setting at Mansfield Crossing. Participants who complete all nine weeks will be entered into a drawing for small prizes.
Mansfield Crossing is offering this program free of charge but pre-registration is required. To secure your spot, simply email info@InspiredWellnessSolutions.com.
