  • Tuesday and Thursday Mornings DIY Meet-Up Runs/Walks

There has been a lot of discussion to understand and properly document the Tuesday and Thursday morning runs/walks.  This is an energetic group who regularly meet at the McDonald’s parking lot off Wiehle Ave near Sunset Hills. Distance includes 3, 4, and 5 mile run or walk and meet up is at 6 a.m., 7 a.m., or 8 a.m. Most join at 8 a.m. sharp. It doesn't matter what time you join, or what pace you run—everyone enjoys the company, and of course the group welcomes everyone. After each run/walk, many gather for breakfast and good conversation.





 PROGRAM UPDATES

  • RMR Training Program

RMR Half Marathon Training Program continues at a great pace!   Week #8 of our RMR Training Program starts this Saturday, March 16th at 8:00AM--the meeting location is in Vienna at the Caboose railcar near Church Street.  This is an annual St. Patrick's Day tradition to run in Vienna along the W&OD trail, and many runners then meet at the Vienna Inn for a post-run breakfast.  This week consider adding variety and challenge to your running workouts.  One option is to alternate your normal pace with 30-60 second speed intervals.  A second fun option is to add a hill workout where you can run up a moderate hill at hard effort for about 60 seconds. Recover running back downhill and do 5-6 intervals alternating running uphill and downhill.  Make sure to cooldown after your workouts to allow your body to gradually recover.   Run happy!



RESTON RUNNERS          

Reston Runners is based in Reston, Virginia and is a proud member of the Road Runners Club of America. We are one of the largest running clubs in Northern Virginia with a diverse range of athletic talent. Many new club members are training for their first 5K or 10K. Others are experienced runners who have run competitively and have completed dozens of marathons and ultramarathons. We are passionate about running (and walking) and strive to be fun and inclusive. As our name "Reston Runners" implies--we are a running club. However, we also have a very active group who prefer to walk. Our weekend events include both a run and a walk course.

Come join us for a group run on Saturday or Sunday. Become an active member to enjoy the many benefits of our community, friendship, social events, fitness tips, and opportunities to volunteer and give back.
