Gilbert's Gazelles

This training program focuses on biomechanics, strength and endurance and is geared to all levels of runners.

The coach for this program is former NCAA All-American Gilbert Tuhabonye, who believes that by transforming an athlete's biomechanics, running becomes a joy and the likelihood of injury is significantly limited. Gilbert brings his running and life experience to the training in an educational and inspiring format that stresses his love and commitment to the sport.

Workouts take place each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 5.30-6.30pm. In order that we may provide personalized instruction, the morning session is currently closed to new participants unless given special permission.


Each Saturday the group meets for a long run with a bonus stretching session immediately afterwards.

Gilbert's coaching staff will introduce drills, skills, and other techniques to put you on the fast track, focusing on the biomechanics, strength and endurance which form the basis for the Gazelles training program philosophies.
