Richmond Training Team Updates:

Brochures: We now have brochures at the YMCA promoting our team. The Y asked that we not put up flyers, so it will be largely word-of-mouth that will bring in any new members. If you need a brochure be sure to pick one up, or just ask me to get you one. If you need extra brochures to give to friends, let me know that as well. I have an insert that I use to give details on the Rocky Mount team.

Information Meetings: I have two meeting scheduled at the YMCA for people interested in the training team. The first one is June 5th at 7:00 p.m., and the other is June 9th at 8:00 a.m. The meeting on the 9th will be followed by our first group run. Without having flyers posted, we very well may get zero participation in the meetings, but I am hopeful to have at least a few show up. I encourage you guys to come as well. Having a positive endorsement from people who ran last year could help to recruit.

Group Runs: The official 23-week training plan starts this Saturday. I am out of town that day, but still encourage everyone to meet to run. Now is the time to start building the right habits. I will post a Run RSVP shortly. The first run for our group that I will be at is on the 9th. This will follow the informational meeting I mentioned above.

Training Plans: I will post the week 1 plans tomorrow once I get them from Don. There will be a beginner and an intermediate plan. If you have any questions about which plan to follow, ask me. I will need to know what you select, so I can order you the correct training notebooks. Many of you will be well ahead of where the plans start. We can talk about how you should get started if you have questions. Stay tuned!
