Yoga Baum’s Run/Walk Club

Run smarter. Walk stronger. Recover better.

Whether you’re lacing up for the first time or looking to take your training to the next level, Stride + Stretch offers a supportive, coached experience that meets you where you are and helps you go further.

Over 6 weeks, you’ll learn to train with purpose, vary your pace, and recover effectively with runner-focused yoga. All sessions are led by experienced coaches: Abbey will lead our walking group, and Laurie will lead our running groups.

The Program

Start: Monday, September 15th

End: Friday, October 24th

Length: 6 weeks

When: Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays at 7:00 am

Where: The loop at Seneca Park — meet by the playground/bathrooms

Cost: $99 + tax for the full 6-week program or $10 + tax to drop in for a single session

Format (all under 1 hour):

• 5 min pre-session huddle to explain the day’s focus

• 30–35 min coached workout on the loop

• 20 min runner-focused yoga + stretch at the park (or at Yoga Baum if the weather is bad)

Weekly Structure

You’ll train three key paces each week:

• Base / Steady-State Day – build endurance at an easy, conversational pace.

• Threshold Day – push into a “comfortably hard” effort to improve stamina.

• Speed / Sprint Day – short bursts of faster running or walking to build strength, form, and confidence.

Choose Your Track

• Walkers – brisk walking, pace changes, and form tips to build strength & cardio fitness.

• New Runners – gradual walk/run progression to continuous running without burnout.

• Speed Builders – for runners ready to train smarter and get faster.

Everyone meets together at Seneca Park and trains at their own pace with coaching for each track

Requirements

• A watch (any basic digital or analog watch is fine. No GPS or fancy features required) to help with interval timing.

• Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and supportive shoes.

• A willingness to meet rain or shine — sessions will only be rescheduled for lightning.

  • In case of a downpour: post-run yoga/stretch will be moved to Yoga Baum.

Other Details

• Weekly email plan – get the workouts in case you miss a day, plus pacing guides and tips.

• Post-program meet-ups – when the 6 weeks are over, we’ll keep the momentum going with group runs/walks + yoga. Dates and times TBD.
