I'm looking for a running buddy in Toronto - i'm training for the scotiabank marathon (will be my 2nd marathon)
I live downtown so usually run the lakeshore (either direction), high park or the don valley trail but open to new routes
I usually run about a 5:30 min/km on long runs and closer to 5 min/km on tempo's
I'm pretty flexible either before work or after and dont really mind if the long run is saturday or sunday
If anyone is interested, shoot me a message :)
Check out Longboat Roadrunners. We run along the Lakeshore every Wednesday evening starting at 6pm with distances of 6 to 12 miles. People of all ability run there so you will definitely find someone to run with. We also run in High Park on Saturday mornings leaving Grenadier Restaurant at 8:40am. Let me or Mike (mike@longboatroadrunners.com) know if you plan to join us and we'll look out for you.
Hi,
I'm planning to run the scotiabank marathon too! just half of it though... so Unfortunately I don´t think we have the same level. This will be my first half marathon.
Nevertheless I was interested in asking ¨rogermoss¨ if those runs organised by Longboat roadrunners are free. I ran the longboat 10km on the islands last year (in 53minutes) and would love to join in something like that!
hi, rogermoss - where do you guys meet up on the lakeshore on wednesdays, im usually out there around the same time, we've probably run past each other a few times :)
Magui - we could do some shorter runs together if your looking for someone to run with? Whats your normal running pace?
Magui,
Sorry! I haven't been back here for a while. Hope your half marathon at scotia went well. I ran it as well. I remember it was a little windy and very humid!
Our club runs are free, but we hope that people will actually join the club after they have run with us for a while. It's certainly worth coming out to try it anyway as you'll find a lot of people of varying abilities, and they are very welcoming. I'm actually going to be the coach for the next year, so can help you with your training for another half or even a full marathon.
Tger, We start at University Settlement house in Grange Park and run down to the Martin Goodman trail and then head west. Different people run different distances. I usually run with the 12 mile group which goes tot he Humber Bridge and back.
Let me know if either of you are interested in joining us.
Cheers,
Roger
Hey, Roger, you're group sounds great - I think ive seen a few of you out there before wearing longboat roadrunner shirts :)
I'm at least a 3x a week runner down on the martin goodman trail, except its a little scary out there by myself at the moment in the dark.
How do I go about joining your group? If you want send me a private message on here
Thanks,
Tracy
