Competitive run club recommendation?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a run club in downtown Toronto (i live nearby uoft main campus area) that trains somewhat competitively. I'm 28F and I'm used to structured training. Per week, my workouts used to look something this: Tuesday hills, Thursday threshold, Saturday morning speed, Sunday easy long long and post run coffee.
I used to train like this with my previous run club in HAlifax but moving to Toronto most clubs only run for fun. Some paid clubs also only include 1 social workout per week, which is not really enough for me.
Any recommendations?
Additional information: I loved the sense of community and I met great friends through structured training in my old club. We had this philosophy of running with mindfulness, helping each other succeed rather than compete against each other, practiced meditation techniques, drills to improve running technique, breathing techniques to calm anxiety before and after workouts. My coach, who taught me all of this, sadly died two years ago. He always coached without charging a penny. He was very loved in the running community in Halifax. I'd even be willing to start a free running club with this mindset because it was life changing for me and most likely I will not come across something like that. I feel lost without this.
Thank you!
