It’s no surprise that runners and triathletes are a committed group. Long/early training hours and questionable weather are just some of the conditions we overcome to perform amazing feats of endurance. This gets right to the core of what it means to be a runner or triathlete; the daily challenge keeping our lives in perspective, the energy burn that keeps life in balance, the fear of failure, chasing glory, going longer or faster than ever before… Day-in and day-out it makes us better people and infuses meaning amidst the chaos. Ninety-nine times out of one-hundred, we can count on our training to improve our overall well being.

So, lace ‘em up and go into the rain. Give a minute to gratitude, and don’t forget your dynamic warm up.

All abilities are welcome and the workouts are written to be adjusted to each runner’s individual needs. They are time based intervals or hills that aim to leave no runner behind. Whether you are training for a sprint tri race series or this year’s late summer DXA2 run, or even a fall marathon, you can benefit from this training. Workouts are based at a local track or hill and start from AARC at 6pm. This allows runners to bring along a drink and drop it at the workout location. Please note that AARC closes at 6pm.
