Hi, fellow HEATsters. Come and join us for our weekly group runs - coached speedwork (or just come and run your own workout while enjoying the company) on the Avon High School track at 6:00 p.m. every Wednesday. Not everyone arrives at 6, some arrive as late as 6:45, and people leave between 7 and 7:30. The track is lit!
We also do a group run on Saturday mornings at 9:00 a.m., and will do this throughout the winter. We usually run at the WH reservoir, but also sometimes on the...

Long run on 9/12

feeds@yuku.com (nobikemike) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 05:00:26 GMT

Last 20 miler in prep of Hartford marathon run on Sat. morning. Leaving Church street (Vernon) parking area for the rail trail at 6:45AM. Pace will be around 8:15 (starting slow and building up). If you plan on joining in don't forget to bring water and nutrition. If you've never done this trail before prepare yourself for a real treat!!! Nice soft running surface with nice views. First 5 miles are uphill followed by 5 miles down (around a 1% grade). Then turnaround, rinse and repeat!!!

Anyone run Applefest Half Marathon?

I am thinking about running it this year - but the "killer" hills is intimidating as I can not seem to find a hill around here (West Hartford) long enough to train on. So wondering if anyone has done it and how did you train for it. Thanks!

6/13/09 Saturday morning run

feeds@yuku.com (bmw7664) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 05:07:09 GMT

Anyone want to run tomorrow morning? I'm an admittedly 'flawed' runner, slow but have a plan (I think) to improve.... Probably more of a newbie run; just looking to get some time in and ground under the feet. Early swim at Y in Granby so planning to meet there at 9:00am and use the trails (entrance and additional parking on Hopmeadow street, rte10/202) from there.

Come to a track workout Wednesday evenings at 6:15!

feeds@yuku.com (Momof3) — Fri, 01 May 2009 10:46:58 GMT

Hi, fellow triathletes. I am organizing a weekly track workout at the Farmington high school track starting this coming Wednesday, May 6 at 6:15. It is sponsored by the running club I started with my friend Alan Fosberry, a triathlete and runner, and an incredibly nice person. The running club is called Valley Runners and we now host a Saturday morning run at 8:30s (various distances) that starts in Avon and this Wednesday night run. You don't need to be an official member of the club to...

feeds@yuku.com (Momof3) — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 07:22:07 GMT

Join us for a fun fitness-boosting run around the West Hartford reservoir today (people will run 1 or 2 laps - about 5 k per lap, but feel free to run more). Rolling hills and beautiful course! You will likely find someone to run at your pace, and there will be plenty of comaderie before and after the run. Call me for directions if you need (860)617-4520. We meet in the parking lot all the way at the back. It is close to Cornerstone for those swiming afterwards. If you cannot make it today,...

8K XC Race at West Hartford Rez 11/22

feeds@yuku.com (orbeachic) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:59:58 GMT

I am planning on racing the 8K trail race at the Rez on Sat @10. Anybody going? Or know anything about the course?
I'd wear my HEAT gear but all I own is a singlet and it might be a bit too cold for that.

Practice the Manchester Road Race course

feeds@yuku.com (nobikemike) — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 04:03:31 GMT

If anyone is interested in practicing the M.R.R.C. - I did on Saturdays with the Silk City Striders at 8:30 AM. It's nice to have some practice runs on this course as that hill for mile 2 is tough.

Running at Northwest Park

feeds@yuku.com (dukeblue) — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 17:02:40 GMT

I've started running the trails at Northwest Park in Windsor if anyone is interested in going. I've only explored 2 trails which takes me about 45' from the parking lot but I'm planning on running longer (1hr to 1:15) this week and going on new trails. If anyone is interested in going post and we can find a day, I can go anytime after 3:30pm. I usually avg b/w 8:30 - 9:30 miles.

If anyone's interested, I'll be doing a track workout at Simsbury High School tomorrow 10iam-ish. I usually ride my bike down and back. You can meet me for the ride( about 5 miles one way very nice) or just meet at the track. Post if you are interested to ride and I'll post directions. Ray

Group runs

feeds@yuku.com (offroad) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:03:46 GMT

Yesterday I saw a post at the YMCA that there is a group that runs at McClean every Wed. (I think it was at 6p, but it may have been 5:30, get there early if your interested). They go off in an A and a B group based on ability. Runs are typically 4-6 miles. This group is not affiliated with the Y and all are welcome. Ray

Saturday trail run

feeds@yuku.com (nanuuk70) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:46:26 GMT

Plan on doing a longish trail run on Saturday. Looking for around 1:45 - 2:00 starting early afternoon at Penwood State Park on the top of Rte 185 on the Simsbury/Bloomfield town line. To meet on the Northern side of the road (Right from Bloomfield, Left from Simsbury) in the parking lot. Following the blue blazed trail.
