What happens on any given Saturday?
We meet at the specified time which will be available on-line and on our printed season schedules. Please arrive a few minutes early to sign-in. We will hold a 15-20 min seminar with a different topic/speaker each week. These too will be listed on our schedule. After the seminar, we break into our color groups, get a few updates from our color group coach and do some light stretches. We then run the prescribed mileage for that day.
We run with our groups before each seminar, so the start time for the run will vary weekly. The seminar will start at 9:00 am every Saturday, so our goal is to have all the color groups finished before 9:00 am every Saturday. After the seminar we usually meet with our color groups for a few minutes to talk with the coaches, ask questions, make plans for the next week, etc. Our goal is to be finished with the run and seminar/questions by 10:00 AM each Saturday. Before the weekend, you will be given the starting time for your color group (available on the website and on our hotline). [top] • Who created our schedule?

Each group first meets with their color group coaches for a coaching session. We then head out for our long run or walk of the week. After the run and walk, the seminar will start at the same time every Saturday, so our goal is to have all the color groups finished before that time. We try to have everything wrapped up by 10:00am so you still have some of your Saturday to go grocery shopping, catch your kid’s soccer game, or mow the lawn. 😉 Before the weekend, you will be given the starting time for your color group (available on the website and on our hotline).
