David Babner, Race Director of the OhioHealth Capital City Half Marathon, recently took part in the Runner’s Clinic.

"I'm not the fastest runner, I've have some aches and pains, and I sometimes don't even see myself as a runner,” Babner said. “Those were my feelings before taking the OhioHealth Runner's Clinic and now… those fears are gone, I have running techniques to work on, nutrition tips, and I can see myself getting better each time I hit the pavement.”
