Hill Repeats with a Bunch of MooreOns

Last night I met my MooreOnRunners Intermediate Group for Hill Repeats and Speed Drills. The weather was perfect and we had a great turnout.

There are all kinds of excuses you can use to not run and coming up with one when you know you are about to do a hard workout is really easy. So seeing so many runners there, ready to go, really was amazing.

We warmed up with a short run and then headed to the bottom of the Cooper River Bridge. The workout is pretty simple: 90 seconds hard pace up and walk back down for a recovery x 6.

A lot of the group didn't have watches (even though I reminded them to bring them!) to time themselves going up so I brought a whistle (I never get to use my whistle).

The hard part of this workout is not stopping or slowing down too much before the end of the 90 seconds. It
might not seem that long at first, but it seems like it's an eternity the more repeats you do.

The group ran really strong. I was super impressed with their effort and how they stayed with it for the whole workout.

After the group finished, we ran back to the parking lot and I set up my cones for speed drills. I almost laughed when I saw their faces :)

Again, the group stayed with me as I had them do sprints, cross overs, sliders, and bounding drills. When we
finished I could tell they had worked hard.

One of the amazing things is that most of this group just finished my Couch to 5K program at the beginning of May! Pretty impressive, if you ask me.

The group will continue building their base mileage for the rest of the month and they have decided to train
for a 5-6 mile midnight run in July.

My favorite part of coaching this group is that I get to throw out some crazy ideas for a goal race or run and
they get to pick what they want to do as a group. The only rules are that it has to be something a little out of the ordinary and it has to be an adventure!

Plus, I get to say I'm running with a bunch of MooreOns!

Group Training

Sunday I met with my Couch to 5K group to begin our second week of training.

C25K Group

Over thirty people signed up for my class!

It's an awesome group with some really funny people that keep me laughing the whole time I'm out with them.

I'm coaching them this month and next month for the Catch the Leprechaun 5K in March.  I love seeing them progress over this short period of time and can't wait for them to run this awesome race.

Taking over the streets

One of the coolest things is watching all the cars pull into the parking lot for our group runs.

It pumps me up every time!

The other thing that I love is watching our huge group run down the road.

Coming back from an awesome run

It is so freaking inspiring!

I coach this type of program because I believe in the group training concept and I like the slow progression of the build up of mileage.


This is what worked for me and as much as I am doing this for all these new runners, getting to share my passion for running is a pretty big treat for me...

The January C25K class is full, but our March class is open for registration.
