These are long slow distance (LSD) runs designed to build community and your running “base.” You should be able to carry on a conversation during LSD runs. If you are short of breath, let the group know and slow down. You choose the distance you’d like to run. Most club members run between 3 to 6 miles with some individuals completing a shorter loop, while others continue on for marathon training. FREE!
