Workout Group Run Coaching

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.
