Friends of Community Fitness

Friends of Community Fitness in Guilford is preparing to hold its annual Cycl-a-thon, a cycling fundraiser organized by the local fitness nonprofit. The group is ramping up plans for the event, which supports its community fitness programs. Details on the date, venue and how residents can take part have not yet been announced.

A club runner went into today's half-marathon expecting to celebrate a friend's 250th half-marathon, only to learn the anniversary run is actually next month. With the plans changed, he ran the whole race as a tempo or threshold training effort, pacing by heart rate alone rather than speed, and described the experience as fun.
