Hey all!

Congrats to everyone who raced this morning over at Roger Williams Park. It was a fun course, we had some good performances, and the men’s team (Will, Adam, Isaac, and Trev) took home 1st place (and some spiffy new Saucony shoes)! Results are here (https://pvdfallcomers5kxc.wordpress.com/results-pvd-fallcomers-5k-2017/).

Hey all!

First off, congrats to everyone who raced the CVS 5k! We had some great performances and the club won the team championship in the “Friends and Family Teams” category, which may or may not have been the correct category for us to enter. In summary, this email will have: 1) our schedule for the upcoming week, 2) a quick reminder about the upcoming UConn Invite, and 3) a form for those who wish to order club t-shirts ($15). Finally, if you haven’t already, join our Facebook groups (“Brown Running Club” plus “Brown Club Running Team” if you’re interested in racing), as they’re a great way to track what’s going on with running club.

Hey all! Thanks for coming out today for our kickoff run! We had a great turnout and it was exciting to see so many new runners. 

Week Ahead in Running Club

**All runs start and end at the bear statue outside the Nelson Fitness Center. Come early to stretch and put your stuff in the locker rooms (in the Nelson basement)**

Sunday 9/10: Long run at 10 am. We’ll group up by pace and run out the East Bay Bike Path. Long can mean whatever you’re comfortable with, and the out and back nature of the bike path means it’s easy to pick the distance that’s right for you. However, it’s about 2 miles to the start of the bike path, so plan on running at least 4 miles.

Mon 9/11-Fri 9/15: Regular club runs at 4:15 pm. We’ll group up by pace/distance each day depending who shows up. Just like Saturday, we’ll continue to have pace leaders leading runs at different speeds and distances!

Tues 9/12: Competitive team workout at 4:15 pm. This workout will be geared towards those interested in racing this fall. We’ll jog down to India Point Park and do anywhere from 2-5 mile repeats at tempo effort (roughly 30 sec/mile slower than your current 5k fitness). The course is a 1 mile loop, so don’t worry about getting dropped 🙂

Saturday 9/16: Regular easy run and competitive team workout at 10 am. We’ll have a regular mileage run on Saturday, but for those interested in racing, we’ll also have a group jog over to a local track to do an interval session.

Sunday 9/17: Long run at 10 am OR CVS 5k. For those not racing the 5k, we’ll have our typical Sunday long run. For those racing the 5k, we’ll have a group meeting at 9:30 am to jog a mile to the start downtown together.
