Summer Track Program

Description: The Washington RunHers track program is designed for female runners of all abilities who are already running regularly who want to improve their running form, speed and fitness. The coaches will divide the participants into small groups of similar ability and design each week's workout for the various groups' abilitie

The workouts are both fun and challenging but always achievable since you're running with the camaraderie of others.

The track program is coached by Al Logie and John Rusinko. Al has been coaching for over 25 years and is a former NCAA champion and a national team member for his native Trinidad. John Rusinko has coached marathoners for many years and the RunHers track program for the past 6 years. Both are experienced track and roadrunners. Together they bring a wealth of running expertise and enthusiasm to the program.
