Before setting out to run with one of these groups for the first time, it is a good idea to contact the group organizer beforehand. Times and places tend to change.

Workout Group The Workout Group is the total training solution for over 75 runners and walkers. Two world-class runners/coaches will help you develop a personalized running program designed to help you achieve your fitness goals. Whether you are preparing for your first marathon, training for local road races, or simply getting in better shape, the Workout Group features three weekly workouts (Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Saturday mornings) open to all ages and abilities. Track workouts take place at Reid Park on a well-lit, half-mile dirt track. This coached group costs a few bucks a month.

EST&A East Side Track and Altitude running group meets every Tuesday and Thursday morning at Sabino High School (corner of Bowes and Snyder roads). Normal start time is 0515 (Yes, that is 5:15 AM) rain or shine. This is a free workout group that has been in existence since the early 1990s. EST&A uses a variety of track work out schedules and long trail runs to build speed endurance and fun. Long trail runs are scheduled at different locations every weekend (usually Sunday mornings). This group is gobs of fun and they never run out of jokes to tell. All runners of all levels of fitness are welcome. Contact John Norris or visit the EST&A Website if you have questions.
