The third episode from our four hour zoom call!! Only two weeks into this quarantine several of us, no unlike many of you, were going slightly stir crazy. So we needed a good group therapy session where we just checked in to see how everyone was doing, who was still going into work and what they were dealing with on day to day basis in this world turned upside-down.    So Enjoy!

During our four hour zoom podcast, Lauren and Tim take a deep dive into WNY Run Club, how things got started, and the recent surge in runners within the group. We also discuss the upcoming Run Club Spring Session (whenever this is all over, that will begin) and some of the adjustments we made after reviewing what went well last year, and what we felt we could improve upon. Lauren touches on a few topics included footwear, training, apps and some of her personal experiences running. Just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to knowledge she has gained through course of running over the past 2.5 years.  This is a good one for all you runners AND non-runners out there. We look forward to future Run Club specific episodes, and maybe we can hear from a few of you! as we love to have guests on for our podcast.    Enjoy!    Love always,  From all of us at Game On!
