REGISTRATION: See our Winter Training page for further details, including registration.

Who: Athletes registered in the Whisper Running Winter Training program.

What: Aqua Jogging and Therapy. It is suggested that your child arrive with their swimsuit on beneath their clothes so they are prepared to jump right into the pool upon arrival. Aqua jogging is a very therapeutic way to enhance recover between bouts of exercise, and being a low-pressure setting away from the track, it’s a great way to meet and engage with fellow runners in the program. We will engage in aqua jogging, which is running in water. The pool is between 4’ and 5’ deep. Water belts will be provided as needed. Deck work may be performed between aqua jogging bouts, so bring a Yoga mat, although if you don’t have one that is fine.

A few extra miles!: Intermediate and advanced distance runners are planning to meet for some easy miles at 4:30pm in the Propstra parking lot, prior to the Aqua-Jogging session. If you would like to run 4-6 miles prior to the mobility session, meet Coach Dave in the parking lot at 4:30pm and we will head out for an easy run together. Belongings may be left in the bed of Coach Dave’s truck prior to departing for the run.

When: Please drop your child off no earlier than 5-minutes before the scheduled start time. We will start and finish on-time.

Where: We will meet at the Propstra Aquatic Center for cross-training and aqua-jogging. The Propstra address is 605 N Divine Rd in Vancouver.
