Weekly Group Runs

I just wanted to post that all of these group runs are still meeting regularly in 2013.

• Tuesdays 8:15 PM - Oberlin bike path - we meet at the Oberlin McDonalds for a 4.5 mile run. There is a core group of 5 that meets, year-round, rain or shine.  Winter pace is around 8:30-9:00 per mile. In the summer our numbers grow to 10-12 or more. The faster runners may run around 7:30 or faster, others paces vary up to 9 or 10 minutes per mile.

• Weekend long runs are a staple but are inconsistent, different people, different places each week.  Show up on Tuesday night and you may find a running partner for Saturday or Sunday.

• Sunday 7:00 AM - LCCC - the long-time LOCO (Lorain County ROadrunners) group meets every Sunday.  I personally am new to this group but there were several small groups running 4 to 11 miles at various paces.  Park by the tennis courts.

Here is a picture of our group from July 2001.  Most of these are summer-only types and several have moved on but Greg, Keith, and myself are still regulars year-round.

Why run with a group?  Here is a video I found from years and years ago that describes some of the many benefits of training with other runners.
