New Fall Programs |
Our newest Coach, Kelli Richter, is excited to motivate TFPers to keep on running strong this fall.
Running Prehab Clinic
October 27: 7:00-8:30pm - Max 12
Attend this informative running clinic at the TFP Studio. Coach Kelli will cover proper running gait and provide an individual gait analysis for each participant. In addition, she will give training recommendations for your goals. This clinic is especially recommended for those who have had running injuries, are worried that increased mileage or intensity will lead to injury, or are simply curious about correct running gait.

LSD Running - 8 Weeks
Starting Nov. 9 at 8am - Independence Grove - Max 20
Bundle up and come run with us. Sunday mornings are all about Long Slow Distance. No need to push the pace, we’ll be dealing with enough when it starts snowing! Mileage will range from 6-10 miles. You will learn to master long distance fueling & heart rate pacing while preparing for spring base training. Unless conditions are dangerous, plan to run in all of Chicago’s finest weather. Those who are currently in the DFB program may purchase this as a 5-week add-on, starting Nov. 30.

The off season is the easiest time to alter your weight or body fat since you are not under the stress of your training regime. TFP wants to see you have the body you want for your 2009 goals. By knowing your RMR, you can adjust your calorie intake to achieve your weight loss goals. This special includes an RMR assessment and nutritional consultation (mask not included).
