The Workout Group—coaching runners since 1997
With knowledgeable coaching and helpful teammates, the Workout Group will help you get in shape and reach your running goals.
WOG is available to everyone, from national class runners to some of the slowest folks in town, and everything in between. Whether you’re preparing for your first marathon, training for local road races, or simply trying to get in shape, WOG features two weekly workouts open to all ages and abilities, as well as weekend social runs. Of course, there’s a long tradition of WOG social nights, and all are invited to adjourn for root beer and cookies at local eateries.
Founded by Randy Accetta and Greg Wenneborg, the Workout Group has been providing great running workouts since 1997. Our health and injury prevention affiliates include Dr. Bob Nardone, sports chiropractor (795-5447) and massage therapists Kelli Gaither-Banchoff (323-3302) and Brianna Averil (907-0996). Special WOG discounts at The Running Shop (Campbell, north of Glenn).
Training Groups On Tuesday and Thursday nights, runners self-select into one of three training groups:
1) Those training for longer races like marathons, half-marathons, or ultra-marathons—in Fall 2010, many WOGGERS will be training for October marathons, so there will be plenty of folks to train with.
2) Those training for local road races—WOG runners generally love to do all the local races.
3) Novices to the sport who are learning to jog, training for their first road race, or just having fun. All ages, all sizes, all speeds welcome!
Where: Annex Fields at Reid Park: From Broadway, take Country Club south 6/10 of a mile, turn into the park at Concert Way, then turn left and right in the parking lots and look for the runners by the baseball fields. In the winter, look for the lights!
