i just moved to palo alto for grad school. does anyone know of a good group to train with in the area? there seems to be the standard assortment of running clubs, which may or may not be what im looking for. my guess is that they are not going to be quite as competitive as i would like. my goal is to train for some 10ks and half marathons.
what are you in school for? and what school?
Hey,
Will you be attending Stanford?
I'm going to be attending there next year. I'm going to be walking onto the team, but I know that Stanford has a running club which I hear is pretty good. I believe they accept anybody (grads or undergrads) so you can try finding out about that.
How competitive are you talking? There is a loose, informal group of mostly grad students that meets occasionally for early morning workouts. Most are former D1 guys but there is a large range of fitness levels at any given time. Shoot me an email if this sounds like something you'd be interested in.
Not sure how competitive these guys are, but this is an option.
I will indeed be attending Stanford - for grad school in psychology/neuroscience.
I ran shorter stuff in college - 400 (51), 800 (1:57), and 1500 (4:03) - but I am interested in working my way up to longer races.
I have interacted with the stanford running club a bit, but they dont seem to meet that often or do many serious workouts. Thanks for the leads so far and if anyone else has advice, let me know.
Thanks.
Why anyone would want to go to that school across the Bay is beyond me...
Is it too late to switch out and go to Cal? We have a couple clubs around here!
