Lane rain! OSU, marathons, more...
Hello, UO Running Club — (Sunday, April 14, 2024)
It rained more than we thought it would, but we were competitive in a
short meet at Lane CC yesterday. Our Club had entries in eleven events
including two in the field.
And tomorrow Emma McEvoy, Henry Axon and Quinn Wilcox are running the
Boston Marathon!
We did not get invited to fill fields in any Oregon Relays elite events
next week. Ben McGrath and I will be the stadium announcers for most of
the high school events both days.
Our next track meet is the OSU High Performance in Corvallis on
Friday-Saturday, April 26-27. The 200m dash and 400m hurdles are Friday
early afternoon. Races 1500m and longer are Friday night. Races 800m
and shorter, plus the 4x1 and 4x4 are on Saturday afternoon. Details
below. Early deadline!
That Saturday is also the Krusteaz 5km road race here in Eugene. Watch
out for FlapJack and FlapJill! And the Eugene Marathon and Half are on
Sunday!
I’m having cataract eye surgery again on Monday morning so will not be
at Monday’s 3pm session.
Newcomers who join the Running Club during spring term must pay a $20
fee. Instructions are near the bottom of this email.
If you wish to race and you want to buy a green singlet with the yellow
O, you must pay $25 cash. I have the singlets at our 3pm sessions and
at the 6pm track workout.
Entry nominations are due to me by 11:00am on Monday, April 22. Contact
heino@uoregon.edu or text me at 541-954-0263.
We probably will not be able to provide transportation to Corvallis for
the early afternoon session on Friday (200m, 400mH).
We probably WILL provide transportation to the evening distance races on
Friday and to the whole running schedule on Saturday.

You get to create the workout Tuesday. The only requirement is that you
try to run a bit faster on each rep. You get to determine the distance
and pace of the rep and recovery. You figure it out; you’re smart. Bob
and I will time it!

Who are Flapjack and Flapjill? It’s a secret, kinda!

all finish in Hayward Field! Here’s the link:

In the 5km race, if you beat Flapjack (men) or Flapjill (women), you win
a year’s supply of Krusteaz pancake mix...
These are all meets which at least some of our athletes might have
access to.
We will NOT attend all of them.

Who we are. What we do!
UO Running Club gives students the chance to get together to run, train and race. Most of our sessions are steady runs. A couple of days each week we offer harder training sessions (intervals, repetitions, hills, tempo runs, cruise intervals).
The club is coached by Tom Heinonen, a member of the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame who coached the University of Oregon women for nearly three decades. In his time coaching the women, he transformed the team from a young program into an NCAA powerhouse. He retired in 2003 and has been coaching the Running Club since.
In 2021 Bob Williams has begun to coach with the Club too, after many years coaching in Portland.
In the Fall we compete in collegiate cross country races throughout Oregon.
In the Spring, we enter in collegiate track meets. Several of our runners earn the opportunity to race at Hayward Field each spring. There are road races throughout the year. We have a wide range of talent and commitment levels, from recreational runners to Club record breakers.
Club members receive an e-mailed workout schedule for the following week every Sunday.
All running sessions are optional. To join, just show up to one of the practices or contact one of us.
The Running Club is a great way to get together with students and to enjoy running!
