Having witnessed an overwhelming response from running enthusiasts last year, RRS – the Reebok Running Squad is back with a greater outlook for 2014. A unique programme that aims to provide free professional guidance to long-distance runners, RRS had inspired thousands of runners last marathon season. Expandingits threshold in eight cities – Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune and Chandigarh, RRS aims to reach out to a larger audience of running enthusiasts this year. 

 

Commenting on the concept, Radha Krishnaswamy, Reebok Running Squad Master Trainer said, “With an increasing number of people signing up for marathons this year, India is experiencing a running revolution in the country. Last year, over one lakh running enthusiasts participated in major marathons across the country, and the number is only expected to increase this year.We at the Reebok Running Squad help members train not only to finish the race, but to also be fit, avoid injuries, and truly enjoy the experience. Three months of rigorous training with RRS will enhance every runners’ physical boundaries and endurance levels. This program will make sure that their run is a fun, rewarding and safe experience.”

 

Signing up for a marathon is the perfect motivation to inculcate running as a daily lifestyle habit, however, as simple as it seems, long-distance running is quite strenuous and can prove to be injurious if performed without the proper guidance and training. Running a marathon can be quite challenging, and it is important to make sure that the body is prepared to take up and complete this challenge.

 

The Reebok Running Squad has been specially designed keeping in mind that running requires stamina, endurance and strength and provides training to a range of runners – from beginners to intermediate and advanced.

To make more runners marathon fit, we have introduced this unique training program to seven more cities. Through expanding the program not only in metros but other cities as well, we aim at encouraging more and more people to participate in regular fitness activities and enhance their running techniques for the upcoming marathon season.”
