Fun Interval Workouts for Club Members
Starting on Tuesday March 23, Elizabeth Primrose will be leading fun interval workouts for club members only every Tuesday evening from the Memorial Centre. The workouts will go from 5:30 to 6:30pm.
Everyone will leave at 5:30 pm sharp for a warmup jog to the workout location. Workouts will consist of running intervals and will vary weekly depending on the needs of the group and the weather conditions.
NO ONE is too slow or too fast for these fun interval workouts. All that is needed is the desire to run with others and to improve your speed. Bring a water bottle.
For more information, please contact Elizabeth at elizabeth@brockvillesports.com or (613) 345-1112.
