- Tuesday and Thursday Mornings DIY Meet-Up Runs/Walks
There has been a lot of discussion to understand and properly document the Tuesday and Thursday morning runs/walks. This is an energetic group who regularly meet at the McDonald’s parking lot off Wiehle Ave near Sunset Hills. Distance includes 3, 4, and 5 mile run or walk and meet up is at 6 a.m., 7 a.m., or 8 a.m. Most join at 8 a.m. sharp. It doesn't matter what time you join, or what pace you run—everyone enjoys the company, and of course the group welcomes everyone. After each run/walk, many gather for breakfast and good conversation.
PROGRAM UPDATES
RMR Half Marathon Training Program continues at a great pace! Week #8 of our RMR Training Program starts this Saturday, March 16th at 8:00AM--the meeting location is in Vienna at the Caboose railcar near Church Street. This is an annual St. Patrick's Day tradition to run in Vienna along the W&OD trail, and many runners then meet at the Vienna Inn for a post-run breakfast. This week consider adding variety and challenge to your running workouts. One option is to alternate your normal pace with 30-60 second speed intervals. A second fun option is to add a hill workout where you can run up a moderate hill at hard effort for about 60 seconds. Recover running back downhill and do 5-6 intervals alternating running uphill and downhill. Make sure to cooldown after your workouts to allow your body to gradually recover. Run happy!
