The gO! Running Group is a Roseville based recreational running group that aims to provide group running opportunities for runners of all abilities. Although our focus is primarily on 5K to marathons, we have members who have completed triathlons (including Ironman events) and ultras. We train on both roads and trails. We currently meet three times per week - Sunday mornings and Tuesday/Thursday evenings.

To improve your form, you need to teach yourself how to relax. Because your hands and forearms control relaxation, focus on your hands to reduce tension during a run.

    Try carrying something in your hands. One of my old coaches would have us carry potato chips and said we could not break them while we ran. A little funny, but it works.

    A TBF coach yelled two things at me at Shamrock'n that I thought helped. He yelled, "Relax your shoulders" and "Run Tall". They both helped.
    I try to remember to relax my hands too. (Anne)
