Mighty Monday

Details

We're moving the group from Meetup to Heylo in a few weeks. Make sure to create a profile on Heylo and register for events there!

Case of the Mondays? This “Goldilocks” run, which starts and finishes at Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co, will cure it!

The regular route is a 4-mile road loop (Strava segment "Happy Ben") that’s not too easy, not too hard, but just right:

Mile 1: 125’ climb up Trap-elo
Mile 2: Rolling recovery mile
Mile 3: Nice and easy descent or leg it out, the beer is near
Mile 4: Flat with a final kick up Mighty Squirrel Mountain

Sometimes we do the reverse. Strava segment "Happy Manny".

-----------------------------
If you see PLUS in the title & are an experienced trail runner, then grab your trail shoes & join us for 4ish mi of rocks, roots, mud, & hills in Beaver Brook / Rock Meadow / Lone Tree Convservation. (Think Prospect Hill 4 Miler with 1/2 the elevation.) The PLUS group leaves @6:00-6:10 & runs ~9 min/mi trail pace to be back around 6:50.

Run the trails for an extra challenge, run the road course for the regular challenge, or be extra mighty & grind 8+ mi & 500'+ of vert.
-----------------------------
If you see Mightier in the title, an optional 0.5 - 1 mi / 100' hill will be available to extend the regular run. Mightier hills:

🦉 Owl Hill (Happy Manny, Happy Ben)
🦫 Beaver Hill
🐟 Mackerel Hill
🐦 Pigeon Hill (Doty, Harrington, Pigeon)
🦅 "Falcon" Hill (Counterclockwise, Clockwise)
🌲 Cedar Hill
-----------------------------

NOTES:

We consider this an intermediate-level route for runners. (And the PLUS an intermediate-level route for trail runners.)
Sweeper Policy: No sweeper. (See the first bullet.)
If you're not feeling Mighty, there's a shorter 2.5 mi route you can run.
The avg. pace of the group is between 8-9 min/mi. Some run faster (6-7 min/mi), some run a little slower (9-10 min/mi).
If it's your first Mighty Monday, introduce yourself & let us know what pace you run so you can buddy-up or find the person you'll be chasing down.
