Do you like to run? Do you want to become a better, more efficient runner and/or prepare for an upcoming race? Or do you hate to run but want to burn a shit ton of calories? Finally, do you dig the energy, darkness, loud music, and kick ass instructors that dominate the world of spinning? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this is the class for you.
Mile High Run Club has successfully brought form, strategy and distance coaching to running. It is an interval-based class where you work on your speed, form and hills in a night club-like setting on BEAUTIFUL treadmills.
Though we always thought we “hated running on a treadmill,” this dynamic class at Mile High Run Club makes us WAY better athletes and flies by.
All of the workouts at Mile High Run Club are coached, interval-based treadmill runs. They differ in the amount of time you spend on the tread and how long/fast the intervals are.
This 45 minute class for runners of all levels consists of 28 minutes of intervals followed by running-focused strength training. The Dash 28 class is a fantastic way to dip your toe into the Mile High world. With only 28 minutes of running, where you are guided through intervals and are always in control of your own pace, it is definitely doable for beginners and joggers. You can also crank the treadmill as high as you want, so we promise that whatever level you’re at, you’ll be challenged.
This class is the perfect combination of cardio and strength training. You do a few circuits with kettle bells after the run portion and leave with your whole body sore (in the good way.)
Corinne gets down to business. She lays the whole workout in front of you from the get go and meticulously walks you through it with encouragement. There are no surprises. She is straight forward, her workouts are dynamic and she does a great job mixing up speed and hills.
Packed wall to wall with smooth and joint-friendly Woodway treadmills, the Mile High Run Club NoMad studio could moonlight as a night club. The ever-changing lighting is sick (and makes you look like a badass as you watch yourself in the mirror), the sound system is ON POINT and the temperature control in the room is mission critical.
The studio itself is beautiful. The bathrooms are clean, bright and crisp white with clean showers, hair dryers, organic deodorant, etc. (AKA no complaints about the basics.) The retail swag is also really cool: lots of cool clothes (like a tank that says “In Tread We Trust”), coconut waters and trendy recovery beverages, plus a warm community with lots of options to get more involved with running.

Elizabeth goes by Coach Corky! Do not confuse this with “Courtney,” like we did. She is everything you want in a running coach: friendly and inspiring, looks fit AF and has a megawatt smile. Her workouts are hard and her music is poppin’. She is particularly concise when it comes to the two-minute spiel at the beginning of every class. Especially if you’re a first timer, Coach Corky is a solid option!

When you run with Ryan, you rock and roll. First of all, his playlist was the most rock heavy of any of the other coaches … so there’s that. Even more importantly, we feel as though his circuits were less complicated and more focused on running down miles. He had a ton of energy as he quite literally ran between the treadmills. He also didn’t tell us what was coming up. So, if you don’t want to dwell on what’s to come, this is the class for you. But we found ourselves getting anxious not knowing how much energy we were about to exert.

Scott got us thinking about our running form more than we ever had before. With a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology (the study of the mechanics of body movements), Scott had us focus on the motion of our strides. He continuously reminded us to relax our jaws and our shoulders, pick our heads up, tighten our cores and pin our elbows to our sides.
Scott specializes in movement efficiency and makes sure you learn something as you crush miles.

All of the coaches at Mile High Run Club are insanely fit and inspiring and will kick your ass with a smile. That being said, we’ve had our best runs here with Vinnie. His energy is amazing. He cracks jokes, he cheers you on and he admits when he’s about to crush you. His workouts are dynamic and get super creative (for instance, he’ll talk you through visualizing the bridges and hills that you’re climbing and mixes up hills vs. speed work in new ways). He plays mainly mashups which keep us mentally on our toes AND we hit our Mile High distance PR under his supervision with smiles on our faces.

Yusuf uses dynamic warm ups on the treadmill (think walking lunges and shuffles at slow speeds, plus exaggerated long strides) to kick off his classes, and then he mixes things up. Although it’s kind of hard to mix up a running class, he does what he can to bring some diversity to the tread. He continuously pushes everyone HARD, encouraging us to keep jogging when other coaches would let walking slide. Sometimes he gets a little screwy with the numbers and sequencing of the intervals but he makes up for it with enthusiasm. He loves sprints and speed work and you’ll leave worked the F out.

Having competed in 13 Ultra Marathons since 2012 (GIRLLLLLL), Jess has been around the block (about 50,000 times). (Just to be clear: an ultra marathon is any distance over a marathon, up to 100 miles. Kill me). Anyway, Jess is a rock star. You can tell she’s smart and prepared by how clearly she explains what you’re going to have do and how she stays on top of telling you how much time you have left. She also doles out personalized pointers which we appreciated. Cha-ching.
