Xtra Mile Running is hosting Strength Workout for Runners. The focus will be strength training for legs and core using body weight exercises.
We are limited to 6 people per session, so be sure to sign up early. Should the event fill up, you can add your name to the waitlist.
We request that participants attend only ONE of the two fall 2025 sessions at this time to give everyone the opportunity to participate. There will be more sessions scheduled if there is interest!
Location:
Xtra Mile Running
Please plan to arrive 5 minutes prior to the session start and no need to bring any equipment.
This session is intended for current supporters of XtraMile (purchased shoes within the last 12 months).
Note: when beginning any new exercise program, check with your physician first. Participants should listen to their bodies, work at their own pace and cease any exercise that causes pain. By performing any of the suggested exercises, you are performing them at your own risk and Xtra Mile will not be responsible or liable for any injury.

Long runs are the staple of any running plan. They are awesome in themselves, but are even better in good company.
While Fast Track has always had self-organized long runs among runners of similar paces, this year we are bringing everyone together at Team Long Runs!
Weekend Group run from Deer Grove West.
Post-run there will be a breakfast gathering at Jelly Cafe - Palatine, 795 W Dundee Rd, Palatine, IL 60074
Location:
Deer Grove West
Walkers and runners of all paces and abilities are welcome! We naturally break into different pace groups and encourage and support those who may be joining for the first time.
