Course Description

Introduces the proper running technique and provides the opportunity to improve general fitness. Running will be done on the track until student and instructor feel the student is ready to run on the road.

Course Activities and Design

Class will be conducted in a large group situation for lectures, warm-up, and general exercising. Small group of two or more will be used in running activities off the track. Each class will begin with short lecture and/or stretching and warm-up. As the term progresses, the time run each week will be gradually increased.

Each student supplies his/her own clothing. Clothing should be loose and comfortable fitting for exercise. Shoes are mandatory
and should be designed for jogging.

Outcome Assessment Strategies

Grades will be based upon testing, active participation, and attendance. Specific grading policies will be discussed at the first class meeting and presented in a handout.
