Larueegg, you are a star for keeping these going! I'm in Bern Thursday for work, but should be back in time to join you.

Re: Zürich Running / Jogging Group

It's on wednesday not Thursday, so I don't think the run should conflict with your trip to Bern.

Re: Zürich Running / Jogging Group

The motto is "no runner left behind;" the pace varies a bit depending on who shows up.

A little pointer: since the people who have signed up so far for this week's installment don't have me to slow them down, you will be running at a decent clip .

No they won't if I am running with them!!

It will probably be wise for me to warm-up/jog from Paradeplatz to make sure everything is nicely stretched before hand.

I haven't been running, so I'll be the one at the back making sure no one gets left behind.

Mr Dodgyken,
The pace will be nothing for you to worry about, given you have done some recent runs with TT. Usually the group spreads between 4.5 to 6 min per km, with the racing snakes looping around occasionally to ensure that those at a more sedate pace haven't got lost.

If you are looking for a quicker run, then certainly a couple of the names on that list should be able to push you. I will be happily pottering at the back with the usual suspects.

Cheers
Mike

That is deserving of a curse or 2. Didn't want to leave the stuff at work.

There are lockers at Stadelhofen station, which is probably on your way to Tiefenbrunnen.

I should be in town next week, for the run. I know my request to throw in a trail or a hill will not work, but at least I asked

Well you missed the run up the Kusnacht Tobel - which is an "Uetlibergesque" path - and then the loop through the woods in Zollikon could hardly be described as a "flat road section"

Anyone else think one person who attended should wear a 20kg rucksack to slow him down??

Jeez, I was hoping the season's biking would have worn him out a bit, but apparently that is not the case
