The minimum pace goal (on flats), is 14 minutes per mile and on hills, 16-19 (depending on the hill). Questions? Ask. We run as a group and instructor stays with the end runner. Free Heart of the Valley Running Club membership with 15 percent off on shoes and other items at Five Star Sports. First meeting is at Five-Star Sports, 2nd and Madison, Downtown Corvallis.
NOTE the average, expected minimum pace in this class is a 13-14 minute mile. This is faster than a walking pace most of the time, therefore the class is NOT designed for hikers or walkers who don't want to run.
Before starting a new exercise routine please check with your doctor.
