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.

Tonight's Track Workout

By popular request, we are going to try to start posting Tuesday night workouts each Tuesday morning so you may all get "mentally prepared" for the workout!
So here is your night.....

800 (2 lap) warm up
4 x 1 mile @ 5K pace or faster
800 cool down

Please refer to the Pace Table to the right for pacing and goal setting. This should be a TOUGH workout if you push the pace like you are suppose to!
See you on the track!

The most important day in any running program is rest. Rest days give your muscles time to recover so you can run again. Your muscles build in strength as you rest.

Volunteers Needed!!

I am looking for a few good-hearted folks to volunteer their time to help out with the Miner's Ravine Fun Run this weekend. I need at least one individual who would be willing to help out with packet pick-up at Fleet Feet Sports on Saturday from 10am-2pm (or anything in between). In addition, I need several folks to help on race morning with things such as traffic control, finish line support, and childcare support. If you and/or someone you know is not racing and is willing to help out, please let me know. The more help, the merrier!! Please email me at josherrecart@yahoo.com

Roseville's Premier Running Event!!

Hey Folks,
I need to rally the troops!! Although our numbers are WAY up for the race itself, we have had slow sales for our pre-race booster night. I know it is just more money you would have to spend, but I really want to encourage you to attend. The evening will be a great time as we have some GREAT raffle items plus the opportunity to hear Tim Twietmeyer talk is VERY cool. The gO! Runners are the perfect audience for such a legendary Sac-Area runner! Also, please pass on the event info to anyone who you think might be interested!
Sorry for the shameless plug, but we are trying to make the Miner's Ravine event the best in Roseville, and raise significant money for Autism!
Thanks
