Basics of Running 101

Meet in Union Square Park at 14th St between Broadway and University Pl. Subway: 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R to 14th St–Union Square. These hour-long sessions may not give you the adrenaline rush common to distance runners, but you will learn how to stop huffing and puffing while you sprint through the city. Marathon veteran Roy Alexander will teach virgin runners how to protect themselves from injury and build the endurance to run their first 5k.
