looking for a newbie to work up to a 5 K with me

annacbrown — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 11:32:55 -0500

Hi! I'm a treadmill person myself but i'm still interested in a running buddy for motivation etc if anyone wants to be an e-buddy or something and we can train together and email and update.

also, if anyone has any tips for transitioning from a treadmill to the real world, i'd love to hear it. the gym is depressing but running outside makes me uncomfortable. (cars, running alone, and it just seems harder)

thanks! this is my first post btw! I'm a third year university student in Ontario; running a 5 K is my end of the year goal. if i can do that and keep my average above 75% then i get a $500 shopping spree :D

SHEFFIELD RUNNING CLUB

Now that the Tuesday Half Marathon training sessions have kicked in, there will also be regular Sunday runs to supplement them, led by someone with local knowledge. Sunday 17th Nick Duggan will be setting off from the junction of Coldwell Lane and the A57 in Crosspool at 10.30 am. for a 60 -90 minute run at 9-10 minute miling pace. All are welcome and there will certainly be plenty of running away from the roads and traffic with early drop off points as well.

Important Half Marathon Notice!

The time is coming! Only 13 weeks to the Sheffield Half Marathon! Whether you are doing it for the first time or are happily repeating the experience, the Half Marathon Training Group is starting up again on Tuesday 12th February at 6pm and can really help you get round and enjoy the race.

Experienced marathon runner and Club President Dave Oldfield will be leading the training runs every Tuesday at 6pm from Don Valley Stadium until the big day. He has endless patience and advice on training sessions, pacing and tactics. Ably assisted by Nick Duggan, a fellow member with lots of running experience.

Just turn up at the indoor track Don Valley Stadium and ask for Dave or Nick

Running Group/Partner in SW Metro Minnesota

bigsection — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:00:10 -0600

Good Afternoon,

I've started a group, SouthWest Metro Runnners of Minnesota... I know nice name, but I want to try a get specific with location.

Anyway, I've been running for a year, so still fresh in to the sport and formerly played football as a lineman. I've done well with dropping weight, but the cold months are causing more issues on the knees.

Anyone in the area, specifically Scott County know of any trailers/paths that stay pretty clean. My country roads in Jordan get a little sketchy, especially if I need to push my 20 month old daughter.

I look forward to hearing from any MN runners.

Next Event I'm running is the Irish for a Day 5k, they now offer a ten mile option for those wanting more distance (I might push myself and do it).

Take care,

Marc

Running partner in San Francisco

kornfield — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:00:41 -0600

I like trail running, and do the Headlands as often as I can and occasionally Mt. Tam/Dipsea though my regular run is 7.3 miles from my house and around Lake Merced. I'm looking for a training partner in San Francisco to perhaps do a Boston qualifying CIM (<3:35) next December. I'm a 53 year old recent widower in the southwestern part of the city. Currently I'm doing slightly over 10 minute miles but I think I know get down below 9 with consistent training. As for 8:30, I just don't know...

Looking for Boston Running Partner

mark@mmf — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 08:23:46 -0600

Training alone in the evenings at this time of the year is getting increasingly boring. Would like to find another person to run with a couple evenings afterwork, and if that works out perhaps we can hook up for a long run on one of the weekend days. My pace is average - for my fast days, I usually do 6 to 6:20 miles; Normal days - 7-7:30 a mile, and long days anywhere from 8-9 minutes a mile. Typically, I never run less than 5 miles, but I am open to change! Ideally, I would like to find someone to meet up for an easy run one night, some tempo/speed work another night, and provided we can tolerate one another for longer than 50 minutes, we can maybe get together for a longer run (10-13 miles) over the weekend

Chicago Runner looking for partners!

ataam928 — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:38:11 -0600

24 year old male living across from millenium park. I run in the evenings when I get home from work (around 630). Currently training for the Boston Marathon in April, so my weekly runs range from 11-15 miles. Am flexible on where to meet (although i don't have a car, so i'll just run to the location!). I usually like to run along the lake, however, running through the city is just as good (plus all the streets are well lit and I never encounter problems w/ stopping for traffic). Please respond if you are interested!!

Looking for a running buddy (or two) in Scottsdale, AZ

dkmtw — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 10:08:12 -0600

I'm not very fast (about 10-11 min/miles) and I've been training for the Rock N Roll Marathon with the Jeff Galloway group. That's over on Sunday, though, and I'd like to find someone who's interested in doing a couple of 3-5 mile runs during the week. I live in the Kierland area, so that would be my preference, but I would drive 10 minutes or so to meet up with someone. Thanks! Dana
