After 1:30h of jogging in IOR


For several weeks already, the RO Club Marathon members are present each Sunday, at 10:00, in IOR park, doing a group training.

This was the second time I joined them and it was fun.

Last Sunday we ran for 1h30 (5 full circuits around the lake).

[Edit]

During summer time, the run starts at 09:00, from the church parking lot.
