Each month the Empire Runners Club training director publishes a calendar of group training sessions. Copies are distributed at regular workouts on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. The calendar is also printed in the club newsletter. The route wanders into the parks during the spring and summer months and retreats to well-lit residential streets as daylight becomes scarce in the fall.
Interval workouts all levels.
Consult the training calendar for the structured workout scheduled. Wednesdays Gather at the Fleet Feet store at 643 Fourth Street in downtown Santa Rosa . Call store owners Ron Jacobs and Rhonda Roman at 569-1494 for information. The route is never pre-set so participants discuss the distance and pace just before starting or early in the run. The group breaks up into several small bands of like-minded runners along the way.
