Indoor and Outdoor Interval Workouts
New this year: Weekly interval workouts, indoor and outdoor, are free for members!
The AATC offers short and intense interval workouts, led by experienced coaches. Total distance of the hard part of the intervals is typically about 3 miles (5 km), except during October we run a few 10 km workouts. Workouts are geared toward adults, but anyone high school age and up is welcome to participate. We encourage high school and younger runners to consider the Youth Program managed by the YMCA.
We look forward to running with you!
