Despite the threat of snow almost 40 dedicated and motivated people showed up to begin their 5k training journey on Saturday, February 11th. They completed 1.25 miles with warm ups, run / walk intervals and a cool down.
Our session started with an explanation of our program, a brief talk from Erik Emanuele welcoming the beginners and about proper footwear (coupon provided from Fleet Feet), a group of nine GRR volunteers (thank you!!!) came to assist and support the beginners and Nathan Cropper led the group through their stretches to close out our first session.
Our next session will be 6pm Tuesday evening at Rotary Field on Olde Stage Rd in Glastonbury. Participants, be sure to wear a headlamp or bring a flashlight and wear reflective clothing if you are able to join us then.
Anyone that was unable to join us for the first session should still feel free to join us in the upcoming sessions!
Nice job runners!!!
