Do you want to learn to run (and walk) more easily, with less injury and with more efficiency and speed? Maybe you’ve tried to start a running program and become discouraged with your ability to sustain it. Or, you’re a walker who would like to add running into her workouts.  Do you have goals to improve your running form and race at your personal best?  

Join physical therapist and All-American Triathlete, Melanie Carvell, for her Natural Running Workshop on Sunday, May 22 at the Ramada in Fargo, an activity of the Women’s Health Conference.

Melanie combines the latest research with training techniques and proven strength and stability exercises to improve your gait, form and speed. Whether you are a seasoned racer or beginning runner each woman will come away with a training plan to help reach her personal goals. Melanie inspires participants with strategies to bring more purpose to workouts and mental training techniques to improve performance.

For Fargo Marathon participants, the drills and exercise workshop activities are perfect for post-race recovery as there won’t be any serious running during the workshop. Plan to wear comfortable clothes and running shoes.  Each participant will leave with great tips to “hit the road running” and a heaping dose of motivation to help tackle your workouts with more purpose, strength, gratitude, and joy.

Melanie Carvell, a physical therapist and director of the Sanford Women’s Health Center in Bismarck, is a six-time All American triathlete, a certified Worksite Wellness Consultant, and author of Running with the Antelope; Lessons of Life Fitness and Grit on the Northern Plains. Melanie’s interactive presentation will inspire you to take charge of your health, reintegrating your body and spirit along the way to a happier, healthier life. With her humble and engaging style, she delivers practical information with a big dose of inspiration. In Melanie’s workshop, she teaches those of all abilities technique-based training principles to improve running form, efficiency and speed.
