So I'm an OK runner by nobody's standards but my own. I'm on my way to my third half marathon next week, and while that's all good, and I enjoy running, I really want to get better at it, so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or knows of running clubs in the area. I know of Hellgate Road Runners and Team Trinity, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with either, or what I should expect should I decide to join a club. Really I'm trying to find a couple scheduled workouts during the week, and a long run on the weekends. In real life, I'm reserved around groups, especially when they've been doing things like running marathons together for years.
At the same time, if anyone is interested in the prospect of long runs on saturdays followed by cold beers somewhere, I'd also love to just find some folks who are into that.
