Run with Fired Up Fitness and Save the Gorillas
While we did not get into the 2011 Nike Women’s San Francisco Marathon/Half Marathon, we are still very eager to help you to achieve your running goals this year! Join us to train for a local run and support the conservation efforts of the Calgary Zoo – all at the same time!
The Gorilla Run (Sunday, October 16, 2011) is a 16 K run which takes you initially through the Calgary Zoo and then along the beautiful city river pathway. Don’t want to run a full 16K? No problem – it can also be done as a relay with 2 or 3 people! Achieve your goals with us to run a short, medium or longer distance in the Gorilla Run!
Train through Fired Up Fitness and have access to fitness professionals that will provide full support as you train for your first run or try to achieve a “personal best”: Details of the program include:
- Running program and up to 3 weekly group runs with highly regarded and experienced Calgary running coach, John Dumonceaux.
- Discounted rate to Fired Up Fitness’ SPARC (Strength, Poise, Agility, Range of Motion, Cardio) fitness classes to round out your running program with functional cross training
- Fired Up Fitness team dry-fit technical t-shirt
- Fee: $30 + a donation to the Calgary Zoo (note: this does not include the Gorilla Run registration fee; you will be responsible for the run entry fee at the time of registration).
Please let us know if you would like to join the Fired Up Fitness team and we will send all the details regarding training and race registration. Registration is not a lottery – which means that entry to the run is guaranteed! Get a relay team together or run the entire distance solo – either way you will benefit your own health as well as the efforts of the Calgary Zoo as they try to make a difference for endangered animals.
Move of the Month
Looking for a move that will give you a big bang for your buck? Mountain Climbers challenge the legs, core and heart rate and are a great way to intensify your workouts while building endurance and agility. This move can be modified by elevating your hands on a chair, small step.
Mountain Climber
A. Assume push up position with your hands directly underneath your shoulders
B. Lift your right foot off the floor and slowly raise your knee as close to your chest as you can. Touch the floor with your right foot. Return to starting position. Repeat with your left leg. Alternate back and forth for 1 minute building up to 4 minutes of 50s work and 10s rest.
