Tired of finding yourself intimidated by faster runners, feeling left out of a group run because you’re in the back? Or do you usually run by yourself because no one runs your pace? Now there’s a group for you! " Back of the Pack" – a group of runners such as you, the slower runner. Your pace is 11 minutes, 12, 13, or even higher. You are a beginner or may have been running less than 3 years. The goal of this group is to learn how to use certain techniques and strategies that will help you run more efficiently. This group is supportive and inspires you to keep your focus on running more consistently and effortlessly. And most of all you will have fun!!!
