TEMPO TUESDAY
On Tuesdays at 19:00 we go FAST! Sessions vary between Tempo or intervals, taking place either on the track (WLV, Meiereistraße 18) or the famous main avenue (Prater Hauptallee at KM 2 mark) right next to it depending on the session. Come already warmed up with 15-20mins of easy running then ready for some drills and strides (drills start at 18:45).
FRIDAY #breakFAST
Every Friday at 7:00 am (Praterstern, KM 0) we provide a Fartlek session a.k.a “Speed Play”. For everyone, as it’s not solely based on pace but effort! Come already warmed up with 15-20mins of easy running then ready for some drills and strides (drills start at 6:45).
LONG SUNDAY
Sundays we focus on the classic long run, which is definitely half as long if you can run together. Here, of course, it is important that our crew are at a similar level to challenge and keep together. We train for similar races so that we can structure the training accordingly. We start at Superfood Deli (Maria-Theresien-Straße 5, 1090).
COMMUNITY SOCIAL RUN
Community Social Runs (CSR) are our way of brining runners together, furthering our motto of achieving more as a unit and making running more inclusive. It’s also a great way to get to know VRC. #ComingTogetherToBuild
