Running can be a terrific and rewarding way to stay in shape and push your limits, but proper technique is crucial if you want to avoid injury and get the most out of this enjoyable hobby. Dave's Running is there to sell you shoes, of course, but they're also there to help, with their GFR (Good Form Running) clinics at their Perrysburg and Sylvania locations. It's a simple, streamlined program that gives you the basic points you need. You'll be drilled on proper posture and cadence — then Dave's staff will film you running in order to analyze your technique. You'll get to review the footage under the guidance of the instructor so that you can learn how to improve before you get back out on the road. It's free!
Currently scheduled seminars are at the Perrysburg location, 26567 N. Dixie Hwy. 6:30pm. Thursdays, September 27, October 11 and October 25. 419-873-6300.
