Wednesday – Beginners’ Run
Time: 7:00pm
Distance: 2 miles
Pace: 12+ minute miles
Effort: Comfortable
Led by: Randy & Anna
Meet: Northside of McCarren Park Track
Hello all you beginner runners out there! Come join us for a nice 2 miler every Wednesday at 7pm. We usually run at 12+ minute mile pace but have two run leaders just in case anyone needs to go slower/ faster. This run is open to runners of all abilities but mainly for those who are new to running or have never run before.
See you there! And if you have any questions suggestions you can email Randy at randy@runwayfour.com or Anna at anna227@hotmail.com.

Hi, I am wondering if your beginner runs are still taking place. I currently run but would like to start increasing my milage. I am a beginner/adv. beginner. I can run 4M in 42ish minutes.

Hi Kelly! Yes, both the monday night 7pm advanced beginners run (3 – 4.5 miles @ 9 – 11 minute mile pace) and the wednesday 7pm basic beginners run (2 miles @ 12+ minute mile pace) are still going on every week. You can check the NBR google group for the routes: http://groups.google.com/group/northbrooklynrunners

Comment by northbrooklynrunners January 5, 2011 @ 7:25 pmHi, is this still happening today? I just got some yaktracks!

Comment by northbrooklynrunners January 26, 2011 @ 7:50 pmHi…I’m wondering if this group would be a good fit for me. I’m an overweight 50-year-old who started walking a couple months back, walked/jogged a 5k in May, and am now adding more jogging (and by “jogging” I mean just *barely* more than walking!) and my goal is to jog a 3k in September. I like goals
I currently do *about* an 18-minute mile, mostly walking briskly with a few “minutes” of jogging interlaced throughout. I’d love the companionship and support of a group! Right now my dog is my “training partner” 
Could I do this “beginner run,” or am I not even at that level yet? I *can’t* “run” two miles straight. Not by a long shot.
Thanks!
