Running Arizona

Just a final shout out to everyone who ran, walked or cheered this past weekend at Rock 'n' Roll Arizona. Congrats!

Running Logistics Survey

A group of students at Northwestern University are conducting a survey of runners to understand what goes into your decision-making when planning to participate in an endurance event. The results will be used to make races as stress free as possible for runners.

You may access the survey through the following link:

The survey takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete, and your answers anonymous.

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the Rock 'n' Roll Arizona events on Sunday!!! (And the few Running Arizona runners - Colleen Clayton, Amy Garfield and Alice Sauve - I was lucky enough to run with in the Key West Half Marathon.)

It sounds like some race times were not what you expected and others were even better. I definitely miss being there to cheer everyone on, but it is always great to hear and read about your amazing days and much earned accomplishments. So however your day went, congratulations!!!🎈🍾🎉🎊

Hey Running Fans,

Please check out our updated web site. We felt it was finally time to retire our webpage software from 2003. We also felt it was time to unveil some of the new services we offer.

http://www.runningarizona.com/

Not only will we continue to offer written training schedules for runners training for any race of their choosing, but we now offer runners with a writing habit the opportunity to share their writing through our publishing service. Plus, if you are training for a race and you are missing out on those weekly emails that were a part of Running Arizona group training programs, we have you covered with our Running Blog which will provide tips and advice on a regular basis throughout the year.

Thanks – and as always, feel free to keep us posted on how your training is going!

Survey/Study for Runners Currently Training or Just Starting...

A student assistant at Texas A&M University Kingsville is helping his professor conduct a study on runners of any experience level as they train for a run of any distance - 1 mile all the way up to an ultra. Runners need to be within the first 25% of their training program for their intended event, over the age of 18 and provide a valid email address.

The study is a series of four surveys: 1) at the beginning of training, 2) half-way through training, 3) at three-fourths through training and 4) finally post-event. Each survey should take about 5 minutes to complete.

The link for the study is:
