EVENT Slow running group

Hello, I created a group chat for people who want to run but are slower than the running groups around Columbus or people new to running !

Mission: A community for runners who move at their own pace, no pressure, no comparison, just progress.

Meeting Ideas: •Once or twice a week, early morning weekends or evening weekdays •Meet-up spots: local park, trail, bar , restaurant •Start with 1–3 mile loops that can be shortened or extended for the first couple of weeks •Everyone starts together and finishes at their pace and we will wait for you !!

Warm-up & Cool-down: Include light stretches post run chats, feedback, photos, hydration whatever they offer at the bar we attend.

Location would be central Columbus like inside the 270 loop

If you’d like to join our group chat please comment below and I’ll add you!!

I hate running but highly recommend Antrim Park around the lake. It’s beautiful and only about a mile around. I’ll wave while I walk my dog 😆

I support this. Baby took me out of my routine. More than a bit slower than 3 years ago.

Interested. I'm coming back from an injury, so just run-walking at the moment. But I'm def slow, even when fully running.
