The Certified Coach tracks your metrics in real time, and leads you through effort based running classes. Just grab your Smart Phone and a pair of headphones, and you’re ready to go! The Charge Running app is free during our run period of Oct. 1 -14, 2020. The link will be provided to all registered runners on Oct. 1st. via email.
