TECHNIQUE – Improve your running technique from head to feet (Head, shoulders, trunk, arms, hips, gluts, knees, legs, feet and cadence). You will be filmed and you will learn and improve from your corrections during the program.

CADENCE – Improve your cadence: Number of times your foot strikes the ground in a given time period, usually measured per minute. You will work on improving your cadence coming every Monday to the track and running with a “personalized pace cadence device” that Raquel will put on you to follow a pace while improving your cadence progressively and weekly.

INTERVALS AT THE ATHLETICS TRACK – Most of the sessions include some intervals around the track before the end of the session. Interval training is the most efficient form of cardio, speed and endurance increase, VO2 max increases, fat mass decreases, flexibility and elasticity of arteries and veins increases + many more benefits.
