Welcome to The Workout Group!
Our goal for this community is to create a positive and safe environment for you to run your best. Led by a team of RRCA-certified running coaches, The Workout Group meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and evenings from August through May. Our Tuesday workouts include a variety of higher intensity intervals for building leg speed, while Thursday's workouts include longer stamina building effort sessions.
- Tuesday & Thursday Evening Workouts: Tucson Racquet and Fitness Club, 6 PM
- Tuesday & Thursday Morning Workouts: Rillito Regional Park, 5:30 AM
- We ask that you arrive at least 10-15 minutes early to get in some kind of warm-up activity before the workout.
Recommended gear:
- Water bottle: A hand-held to carry during the hotter runs, or bottle to stash in the car for before and after run hydration.
- Watch: Some workouts are time based and some are paced based. Either way, it's nice to keep track on a running watch.
- Head lamp: Starting in September the days get shorter and shorter. Having a head lamp to light the way makes for a safer and more enjoyable run.
- Towel: Bring a towel for the car. Sitting in your own sweat on the drive home from a workout is not comfortable. Also, we may get to permission to jump in the TRFC pool every now and then.
