Are any of the runners in the group also distance runners? Will you also have company for longer intervals later?
They are mostly middle distance runners but compete on longer as well. Since they are barley juniors 3k is long for them. ;-) They have some older guys also but they are injured right now. I think I will mostly join them on shorter speed workouts.
It's nice to have people to run with, and even little people count :) Our training group tonight was also full of youngsters... I was the oldest for sure... of course Hakis is only a year or so younger so it's not quite the same :)
