Training Group

There is a group of people (male and female) who get together regularly in Hiroshima. Here is some information about up and coming runs.


Weekend Long-Runs:

1)The next run is scheduled for SundayOctober8th. The distance will be 20K and will be run at 8-9K per hour pace. Note - runners do not need to run the entire distance. There are lots of turnaround points to shorten the run. So even if you have no interest in running the longer distance - this is a great LSD (Long, Slow, Distance) run to increase your base endurance regardless of your current long-run distance!! Start time will be 7:05am. Start location is the A-Bomb dome. === As per the Wednesday runs - we go rain or shine!! ===

2) I am organizing a training run (6-14K range) on Miyajima for anyone interested. Date will be Sunday the 15th of October . Please email me if you are interested. We will organize rides to get us to the ferry. There are lockers available on the Island for storing extra clothes, food and valuables. This run will give us all a preview of some of the hills on the race route.

How About Some More Runners? Please, if you know someone who is a runner, someone just starting or someone just thinking about it...please pass this on to them and let me know. Or pass me their email and I will send them an invitation. This is meant as much for the social aspect / running support as the running itself. Even if people can't go as far or as fast they should consider joining in and keeping our small group going.

How About Some Walkers? I am also curious if there are any walkers who would like to form a group and go at the same time. Again - let me know. This could be weekends or Wednesdays. This Wednesday's Run: Only 5 more Wednesday runs to the Peace Marathon!! Please let me know if you are running this Wednesday. Who: All are welcome Where: From outside of Urban View - Grand Tower (street car side) When: Start time is 7:45 pm Distance: 8 - 10km depending on how we feel Speed: We run our 10k between 55 - 62 minutes (in other words we are slow - even if we feel like we are going fast!!!)

Please contact me if you are interested or just turn up. I hope we can get together more runners in Hiroshima.
