The 2024 Grandma’s Training Group will be starting soon! Now is a perfect time to join this fun and successful group!

So why join a training group? What can running with a group offer? There are so many great reasons to join a group and to train with others.

First, accountability. Together you and your running buddies can encourage and motivate each other. On those cold, dark mornings when it can be hard to get out the door for a run, just knowing that your friends are there to support you and share in the experience can be all the difference you need to get that run in.

Confidence. You’ll see that by joining a group that there are many different ability levels and interest levels and that there’s ALWAYS a place for you and others who run the same speeds or with the same intentions. AND you’ll also receive great encouragement and motivation from the entire group as well all discover that those who put in the effort and the commitment are appreciated!

Respect. One thing that I’ve learned about the sport over the years is that there is so much respect between all runners. Whether you run your miles at 5 minute pace or 15 minute pace, at the end of a group run or at the finish line of a race there is a mutual respect for each other that we all share. That can be very affirming and rewarding.

FUN! We have so much fun during our weeks of training and that helps make all of the efforts and work so much more enjoyable! To be honest, training for months on end for a race can at times be difficult but with a group you are much more likely to have much more fun along the way.

So sign up today for the official Grandma’s Marathon and Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon training group! You’ll be glad you did.

I recently had the opportunity to check another classic running location off my list. This time it was Bislett Stadium in Oslo. It was incredible to visit such an historic site and to run on the track.
