Eugene Securities announced on the 2nd that it will operate the program "Finding My Running Pace" in collaboration with the Runner Station operated by the city of Seoul.
The program will run for seven weeks from June 9 to July 25 at the Yeoinaru Station Runner Station, every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. It will consist of 12 sessions a day, each lasting about 20 minutes, and a maximum of 2 participants can join for free per session.
Participants will measure their aerobic exercise capacity through the "Harvard Step Test" and receive coaching on suitable training methods from professional trainers based on their running pace. A reflective band for safe nighttime running will be provided as a souvenir for all participants.
The Harvard Step Test is a cardiorespiratory endurance test developed by researchers at Harvard University. It quantifies a person's aerobic capacity by analyzing the recovery heart rate after performing stair climbing movements repeatedly, and it is regarded as a helpful tool for finding an appropriate running pace, from beginners to experienced runners.
Eugene Securities began its collaboration with the Runner Station operated by the city of Seoul last year, using the co-naming of Yeoinaru (Eugene Securities) Station as an opportunity, and as a result, the program is being presented together this time.
Jeon Jong-yun, head of the brand strategy team at Eugene Securities, noted, "In the future, Eugene Securities will continue a variety of activities to support runners' healthy lives."
The Finding My Running Pace program is currently accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis and can be applied for through the official website of the Runner Station or the brand community "Eugene Live" of Eugene Securities.
