Sunday: On Sunday, we offer a variety of group runs to suit your fitness needs:
1) Sunday mornings we continue our up tempo option runs at 7:00. When can one have the opportunity to run with several marathon winners like Paul Riley and Bryan Schneider? The two runners and Joe Marks, Madison Mile winner, lead the group at a 7:00 minute per mile pace for approximately eleven miles.
2) Under the leadership and coaching of Berkeley staff member, Rolando Cruz, BRC was excited to begin a brand-new Beginners Running Group that began Sunday, February 14. Being very familiar with the "Couch to 5K" program, Rolando will use a similar approach with the Adult Beginners that come each Sunday morning to work with him.
3) Also on Sunday mornings join area runners for a comfortable 10K run through the Arboretum as this group leaves from Victor Allen's on Monroe Street at 7:30.
4) To help finish your weekend training, Ted and Peter lead a group on Sunday afternoons which they proudly say that "no one will be left behind". Ted and Peter's group will depart at 3:00 for a five-mile run.
If you would not mind area runners joining your group's run each week, let us know and we will put your run on our website and in our monthly newsletter. We can be contacted at info@berkeleyrunningcompany.com
