Couch to 5K- by Burton Burrows

This past week, the hall started an 8 week program called Couch to 5k. Couch to 5k is a running program that was developed by Josh Clark to help inexperienced runners develop their running ability so they are ultimately able to run a 5k. We have over half the hall, including Mr. Newbauer, participating in this program and there are guys with a variety of experience levels participating. We have guys who have never run before all the way up to guys who have been running for years and are on the cross-country team, the latter of which are stepping up to act as coaches for the small groups of guys. These groups are part of the basis of the program, where there are small groups of people where the members act as motivation for the other members of their team. All of this work is going culminate in the hall running the 5k “Color Me Rad” on October 27^th in Raleigh, which is a very unique 5k experience. A link to the run’s website is below if you want more info.
