“My daughter loves to run but has never had anyone explain the best way to do it in order to get the most out of it and avoid injury, etc. This was the perfect class for her. As soon as she was finished, she demanded I take her out for a run so she could try out some of the tips and tricks she learned. Good class!”
–Jennifer M., parent, about the Outschool class “Physical Fitness: Good Running Technique,” 26 Mar 2020

And we can open some pathways to future thought, exploration, and improvement.
