TEAM  NEW  IMAGE

RUNNING  GROUP

Team New Image is back for a fourth straight year.  We have a new coach and a new training format, both of which will enhance the level of your running and enjoyment of the group.  Team New Image is designed for all levels of runners, from beginners who want to feel the accomplishment of completing their first 5k to elite athletes looking to shave a few minutes off their triathlon time.  Non-members are welcome so please tell your friends.

Season & Training Format

The Team New Image season runs March 1 — October 31^st.  The group will meet on Monday & Wednesday evenings at 6pm and on Saturdays at 9am.  Workouts will typically alternate between road training and track training.  While meetings will be in a group setting, Dennis will provide each individual with feedback, goals and progress initiatives.  The overall goal of the team is to have fun and improve the ability of each runner.  While general improvement is the goal, the team will occasionally focus on race-specific training for runs such as Drake 8k & Half Marathon, Dam to Dam 5k & 20k, Beaverdash 5k, and the Des Moines Marathon/Half Marathon.  Runners are also encouraged to let Dennis know of any specific runs they have coming up so he can help them prepare for their event.
