Pat Phares is ARC's Saturday
morning Run Coordinator, so feel free to join Pat for a run on Saturday
morning. You don't have to be a member, you don't have to be a serious
runner - everyone is welcome and you can walk or run. You can take the
entire trail (about 10k) or you can walk a mile or so and return to the
start. The important thing is to get out there! For
more information you can email Pat at
pat@arlingtonrunnersclub.org
(no solicitations please).
Join us for a run around
the airport on the 10k trail course. If this is too much, cut the corners
for a 5.6 mile run or turn around at the gravel parking lot at MP 1.55 for a
5k run. Need a longer run? Continue the loop. The miles are flagged along
the course. We start at a slow, warm up pace for about a mile and naturally
group into same-paced runners. All levels welcome at no cost or obligation.
Cross-training is also a
good idea for off-days when there is no group run. This could include
bicycling, swimming, strength training, rowing, or elliptical training.
Connect with other runners if you want to train together. The key is to not
run more than 3 days a week unless you are an elite runner. This will cut
down on overuse injuries and burnout. “Train Less and Run Faster” workouts
adapted from Runners World Aug 2005 and March 2006. Email us if you want
more info.
