Hoping to keep the New Year’s Resolutions alive at Archer, we asked Mike Monagle of the Delaware Running Company to come in with a program to ease everybody into running a 5K. To help remove any excuses, Archer will buy new running shoes for all who make the ‘Couch to 5K Pledge’ and enter them in the Robot 5K on April 3rd.
The 9 week program outlines all the steps to get into running a 5k, starting with short walks and working up to full 3.1 mile runs. The program leads us up to the Robot 5k, which hopefully everyone will run in. This 5K fit us nicely because, a) it is a 5K, b) it is right near our offices on the Riverfront and c) it benefits programs to encourage youth from elementary to high school to pursue interests and careers in engineering, science, and technology.
This should be fun!
