The Group The Greens consists of top-notch runners (and people!) who are fully expecting to run marathons in less than 3:30 and half marathons in less than 1:40. Women comprise a larger share of this group than may be expected. An easy run will range between 7:00 and 8:00 minutes per mile. The Greens are led by former Washington U. cross-country runner Paul Donnelly. Note on the pace: Running with a group will almost always increase your pace over running by yourself. A 30 second difference is not uncommon. The Workouts Coaches Kevin Haas and Paul Donnelly have designed a marathon program to optimize club members' talents and give them the greatest chance to run to the best of their abilities on race day. This general program is designed for runners who want to improve their speed and endurance. Toward this end, CBRC implements the weightlifting and strength program of Discover Strength. The Greens will run longer than the program calls for and perhaps run extra repeats of hills or speed distances. Please note that all runners have the option to do less than the group workout on any given day. Other Groups Greens Bluess Golds |
