Not Your Average Run Club

Not Your Average Run Club

Formula Running Center is Not Your Average Run Club

 

It’s no secret that running clubs can provide an outlet, whether you’ve moved to a new city, looking to make some new friends, or searching for that push of motivation that comes with group exercise, there’s something for everyone in a running club. In 2018, Arlington was named the number one city for runners in the nation. People flock here for the proximity to Washington D.C., the gorgeous running views, and an abundance of races year-round. 

 

Something that many running clubs lack, however, is structure and a personalized experience. How can you create quantifiable goals and achieve them if you’re not working on a program that is built for you? Formula Running Center is not your average run club in the DMV— we’re family. Housed in a state of the art facility, FRC provides the intimate setting and community of a running club, accompanied by world class coaches (from Olympians, to professional runners, to Ironman athletes and more) that give you a tailored experience to help you reach those goals. 

 

Not a runner? No problem. Our coaches, programs, and members support each other to create an inclusive environment fit for any type of athlete. All-star marathoner? We’re prepared to give you that push of intensity you need to up your fitness game. We provide all the best aspects of a running club and more. 

 

When you walk through that door for the first time, you’ll quickly see that FRC is not just a place to get a workout in— it’s a place where you can better yourself, inside and out.  We provide all the tools you need to become the best athlete you can be, all under one roof. From assessment services to figure out your target heart rate zone to mobility classes to stretch out those sore muscles, it’s the total package. It’s not always about going all-out, every class. We put an emphasis on recovery, rest, and relaxation to treat your body like the temple that it is. 

 

So if you’re looking for a run club in Arlington, VA stop in and try out your first two classes/services on us— we promise you won’t regret it.

READY TO IMPROVE YOUR GAIT AND GET STRONGER?

Gait analysis is a fundamental aspect of physical therapist practice that is used to guide the development of the best possible intervention(s) for restoring optimal movement and function!
While it is critical to evaluate the runner from a clinical perspective, the only way to understand how the runner uses his or her combination of mobility, stability, strength, and power when running is to directly assess their running form. In this workshop a systematic method called the Complete Runner’s & Gait Analysis is presented to guide runners through instruction, demonstrations and evaluations. Specific injuries will be discussed, and participants will develop the tools to successfully cue gait to ensure that clinical goals can be incorporated by the runner for long term success.

Recipe: Sweet Potato Burritos

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F
  • Slice the sweet potatoes in half and roast them in the oven until tender (about 45 mins).
  • Finely slice the onion and chop the garlic.
  • Heat up a pan and add the olive oil and onion.
  • Cook for 3 minutes then add the garlic.
  • Fry for another minute or so then add the tomatoes and leave to simmer on a low-medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the cumin, paprika, salt, pepper and oregano about halfway through.
  • Drain and rinse the black beans and add to pan, simmering for another ten minutes.
  • Peel, de-stone and thinly slice the avocado.
  • The sweet potatoes should be ready now too – it’s time to make our burritos!
  • Scoop out the sweet potato “mash” from their peels, take out a wrap, layer some of the potato and spread with a fork.
  • Add the tomato/bean mix and avocado slices down the middle of the burrito.
  • Now garnish with avocado slices, sour cream, lime juice and cilantro.
  • Roll, and cook in a large pan for a 30 secs – 1 minute on each side. Tip for families: use the oven instead. Place the burrito in the oven for 3-5 minutes on 200°C/400°F.
  • Repeat with each burrito.
  • When they’re done, you’re done!
