Coach: Helga Beckman
Helga is no stranger to the Charm City Family as she has worked in our Annapolis location for several years. But recently she has joined Stefanie coaching our latest Turkey Trot group and she's thrilled to be joining our coaching team going forward!
Helga has degrees in biology and nutrition and a minor in exercise science. She worked for years in the health field as a nutritionist and later in life as a preschool teacher. She believes strongly in the power of movement to heal the body, both on the inside and outside. She can attest to this while personally battling numerous autoimmune disorders. Helga has grown children that she loves to spend time with but currently she is mostly just a mother to her pup, Tedi. Helga has raced numerous 5k's, 10k's, and half marathons but has recently retired her racing shoes so she can keep her hiking and trekking shoes on instead. Helga is an avid hiker and loves to travel the world as much as possible, seeking the highest mountains she can climb.
Helga looks forward to sharing her knowledge of running, exercise science and nutrition with her runners and walkers and is very welcome new addition to our coaching staff.

Description
The training is broken into four groups, depending on your own goals and physical condition. Whether you have yet to start a walking program, or are a seasoned runner looking to improve your race time, one of our groups will be right for you. We offer groups for:
-
Beginning & Intermediate Walkers
-
Walker to Run
-
Beginning Runners
-
Intermediate Runners
Our coaches will help you determine the best group for you. You are also welcome to change groups at any time during the program based on your progress or fitness level. There is a great deal of flexibility—you can alter the workouts to meet your needs—our coaches will help you find the right workout to achieve your personal running/walking goals.
Each week’s training session will be held for one hour and will include talks on a variety of fitness-related topics, a warm-up session and a great workout. Participants also get a training premium at the end of the program if they attend 4 or more training sessions.
Training will start the week of May 6th and will conclude with the MedStar Health Baltimore Women’s Classic 5K on June 22, 2025
