Message From Coach:
Welcome to GVH! Interested in seeing what were all about? Write me and/or come to a few of our workouts before joining – we welcome visitors! See what we do, meet our folks and then make a decision if you’d like to be a part of our club. We work hard to improve our running and get positive results . . . At the same time we’re there for lots of fun and camaraderie. Much of your success is up to you and how much you commit yourself to implementing a targeted training plan, support our team approach and implement a healthy life style.
Dues paying members have access to our monthly training schedules that are posted on this site and presented at workouts. If you have a particular race in mind that you would like training advice for, need tweaking of the current schedules, have an injury, or just need general advice, see me at a workout or email me (coachmr@rochester.rr.com). Most of our workouts are on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from about 5:30- 7:30 PM (Master runners typically show up at 5:30pm, and Open runners typically show up for announcements at 6pm before heading out for their workouts).
From late December until mid March we work out at RIT’s indoor tracks. Some folks train for indoor track events while others are preparing for Spring marathons or other road races.
From mid March to mid May we workout at Cobbs Hill Park on the Reservoir Road. This venue provides great hills and trails for those seeking strength and endurance for the spring track and road race season.
Starting in mid May through late August we meet at the Mercy High School outdoor track off Fairport Rd in Pittsford, parking in lot S near the east entrance. Track, roads, and trails are used based on individuals’ needs and availability of the track. Generally workouts last an hour to an hour and a half. We finish up with a mile or two cool down run, core exercises and stretching.
On Thursday nights in August we have GVH’s Innovative Edge Sports Summer XC series races at Cobbs Hill Park at around 6PM. These are good low key races to prepare for the fall XC season, including 4 kid races and a 5K XC race. The last Thursday night concludes with the “Tour de Pain”.
From late August through December – workouts are at Cobbs Hill Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We remain at this locations until daylight savings time at which time we return to the St. John Fisher track for the cross country season.
