Every runner, from newbies to experienced Boston Qualifiers should take this class because it gives you the basics of how to run better. While running is an instinctive and natural activity, running more efficiently is not something that everyone is able to do. New runners concerned about injuries and competitive runners looking to shave seconds off their PB will benefit from being more bio-mechanically efficient.
