If you are from Boston, you're in for a shock. There is nothing approaching the kind of organization that they have in Boston for the competitive post-collegiate runner. There are a few scattered guys running fast, but for a variety of reasons there's nothing like a the culture of running that you'll find in Boston. That said, if more folks come on in, perhaps something like that can begin to take shape.
Huge mistake on my part.
Read 13:54. Not 14:54
Belmont has 8-10 guys running around or under (some by a lot) 15 minutes.
yeah boston is a very organized running community with great clubs and great runners. i will miss that if i move. but i went to school in south carolina for 6 years (undergrad/grad) and that area was very low key in the competitive running community (at least in the upstate).
from the sounds of things, it looks like i'll have to hit up the fleet feet scene. i've known about belmont so maybe i'll try to get up with some of them.
if this move happens it wouldn't be until at least march, but i would just like to have an idea of where to go once i get down there.
fleet feet is sweet
If you (Moving) or anyone else wants to meet up with Kemmons and I we run from Fleet Feet in Brentwood pretty much every Tuesday and Thursday with a group of runners. The store closes at 6:30 so plan on being there a few minutes early.
I'm looking for the same thing this runner was back in 2007. Over the last 8 years have there been any new Nashville running groups? I'm looking to get back into a running group and ran 14:30 and 29:30 for the 5,000 and 10,000 in college. Any information on groups or coaches would be appreciated. Thank you.
Check in with the Nashville Running Company--they sponsor a group of local elites and are your best hope for fast company on a regular basis.
Go do an easy social run with East Nasty on Wednesday at 6pm at 5 Points, look for the really fit runners, talk to them. Afterward, go check out Nashville Running Company and they will point you in the right direction.
This thread is old now, but in case anyone with a similar question finds it, you should check out Nashville Harriers.
There are a lot of social running groups in town - Easy Nasty, Nashville Striders, PR Bandits, Brentwood Breakfast Club, Nashville Running Company Brew Crew, Gulch Running Club, etc. - but the Nashville Harriers is the only group I know that really gets after it.
Every week runners of varied abilities show up to the Nashville Harriers' runs, but everyone is there to work. Speed workouts on Tuesday at 6:30pm.
