Eagle Speed set for Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer

Do you want to become a stronger runner? Do you want to build overall core and general strength? Do you want to learn about good running technique? Do you want to run with friends and have fun?

If yes, then you’ll fit right in at Eagle Speed!

The program is for middle school athletes of any sport (rising sixth-graders are welcome too). They are invited to attend the Eagle Speed sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 7:15 p.m., throughout the summer.

The first two sessions (June 24 and 26) will be at Chianese Field — meet at corner of Prince’s Hill Avenue and Foote Street. After that, the locations will be announced.

The cost is $35 per kid or $50 per family, due at child’s first practice. Cash or checks can be made out to Eagle Speed. Scholarships are available, just ask or email one of the coaches.

Please email Coach Larson Gunness at larsongunness@gmail.com if your child is interested or has questions.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
