Group Training

Training Begins Sunday, September 21st

Formal group training begins on Sunday September 21, 2008 at 6:30 AM at the Brownell Building (813 Shades Crest Parkway). This is a continuation of Lakeshore Drive east of Brookwood Mall. Prior to that date, it would be wise to begin some consistent running so that by that date you can cover 20-25 miles per week and be able to run 5-7 miles at one time. Although I don’t believe in giving you a “recipe” of how much to run each day, I do give you a mileage goal for the weekly long run, and also give you a TOTAL range to run during the OTHER running days of the week.

The long run should be a challenging goal to finish, even if you have to take some walk breaks. As we start to run in groups, I promise you it will be much easier. Please build in at least one day during the week in which you do no running.
