West Philly Runners: WPR weekly deets: January 29

Some Words from the Management

January's a wrappp! Are you all starting to notice that daylight lasting just a bit longer? It feels like those warm sunny running days are just around the corner. I know what you're thinking: "it's a trap!" But we gotta stay positive and take advantage of these kinda-sorta longer and warm-for-winter days.

This week's run ends at City Tap House!
(that's right, after a few years' hiatus, we back)

L ove Run Half - Sunday March 29

I'll be honest, I wouldn't normally promote this race, but there are quite a number of WPRs running it and it'll definitely be a fun time, so if you're looking for an early spring goal race to keep you motivated through this winter BS, this is it.

WPR Interval Training - Mondays at 5:30pm

Whether your training plan is calling for it or you just want to add a little variety to your running, WPR has you covered for your interval training needs down. We meet up at Penn Park every week at 5:30pm at the bike racks south of the western soccer field (if someone has a better way of describing that location then let me know...).

The standard workout is 3-5x 1000m with 400m recovery between sets and the group is very good at explaining that workout to new folks who come out... so come out!
