Walk-run training in Yosemite with iFIT Trainer Leah Rosenfeld

Becoming a runner gets easier when you build up your endurance in steps. In the Yosemite National Park Walk-Run Series, iFIT Trainer Leah Rosenfeld leads six workouts that alternate running with recovery walks, growing from one-minute efforts to 10-minute blocks. Granite peaks, pine forests, and waterfalls set the scene while Leah coaches your form, your breathing, and your pacing.

What is the Yosemite National Park Walk-Run Series?

The Yosemite National Park Walk-Run Series is six walk-run interval workouts with iFIT Trainer Leah Rosenfeld, filmed in Yosemite National Park. Each workout builds your running base with structured intervals. Leah shares running cues, breathing techniques, and local history along the way.

How does the series progress?

The series starts gently and builds. Workout one uses short one-minute runs with longer walks. By workout six, you're running intervals of up to 10 minutes. In between, you'll work through ladders, equal-length intervals, and a pyramid, so each workout asks for something a little different.

How does Leah coach along the way?

Leah shares essential running cues, breathing techniques, and the history of the places you move through. Expect reminders to run tall and keep good posture, help tuning into your effort and breathing cadence, and a practice for counting your steps. She also reflects on returning to your running roots.

Where is the series filmed?

Every workout is set in or near Yosemite National Park, from Wawona Meadow and Fish Camp to the Valley Loop Trail. Along the route you'll pass pine forests and sugar pines, granite cliffs like El Capitan and Half Dome, and waterfalls including Lower Yosemite Falls and Bridalveil Fall.
