Running Program

Hi everyone!
Below is the Running Program that we will be using on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. You are strongly encouraged to continue with the program on the weekends, as you should be running every alternate day.
Please remember to bring back permission forms as we start running right after March Break.

Happy running!
