We’re entering the fourth
and last lap of this year-long set of adventures. Winter (with Florence Half as
our target), spring (Eugene, with partial teams running Newport and Coburg) and
summer (Cottage Grove) are complete. EWEB’s Run to Stay Warm on November 24th
marks our finish line for 2019.
Our runners can, of
course, train for other races in this time frame, such as halves listed below.
(Other distances lie outside the reach of this basically half-marathon
program.) But you must make the necessary adjustments in training distances,
and we can’t promise full support for all of those runs.
The Eugene Running Company
has sponsored and hosted our training team since its launch in 2005. Most runs
start at the store, at 8:00 on Sunday mornings.
Previews of the route emailed to registered runners each week.
Weekly results are posted on our blog, http://joesteamrunners.blogspot.com.
If EWEB training is your first with us this since winter and/or
spring, the cost is $50. Continuing runners from summer either have already
paid or are eligible for discounts. There is no extra charge for runs labeled
as “bonus training.”

depending on which races are scheduled when.
