Whether you are a recreational weekend runner or a dedicated marathon like Flo Jo, there's always room for improvement when it comes to form and technique — even for an Olympian. One of our favorite places to work up a sweat, On Your Mark Coaching + Training, is offering a free gait analysis workshop to educate runners on how their style can be enhanced.
Computerized and videotaped info will be used to help assess your running mechanics and efficiencies to determine the areas you need to work on. Whether this means you'll be able to go a little farther on the lakefront or score a better time at the Chicago Marathon this year, this info is as valuable as having the proper shoes for your trek. Space is limited, so sign up online to secure your spot!
When: Wednesday, August 29 from 7 to 8 p.m.
Where: On Your Mark Coaching + Training, 1101 West Monroe Street (at Aberdeen Street); 312-733-9330.
