Many runners came with their whole family after a long day at work. Expert speaker\, refreshments\, 1-on-1 running analysis and individual shoe fitting were provided. Runners also enjoyed a 10%-25%(VIP) discount on any purchase at the event and were eligible to enter into a raffle. \nAfter the treadmill running analysis\, runners received a custom analysis on the best fitted running shoe type\, e.g.\, “neutral” or “stability” and cushion level. Thanks to the new 3-D Foot Scanner\, Rebecca Tang found out that she had been wearing shoes that were one size too small which had caused bruises on her toenail after the marathon relay last month! \nMany runners got a new pair of running shoes for themselves and for their family while kids enjoy food and refreshments (thanks to the friendly and attentive staff). We had a fun & educational shopping experience at the store and can’t wait to put on the new shoes for the next run! \nEvent photos \n  URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/road-runner-sports-shopping-gear-night/ LOCATION:Road Runner Sports\, 65 E Route 4 West\, Paraums\, NJ\, 07652\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_3123.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180527T230000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180528T000000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153618 CREATED:20180522T150203Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180530T085136Z UID:1136-1527462000-1527465600@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Ridgewood 10K Run DESCRIPTION:What could be a better way to spend Memorial Day at than a raving race at Fred d’Elia Ridgewood Run 2018 10K with your fellow runners? A dozen of Bergen Running Club members crashed this premier road race in Northern Jersey today and finished the run with outstanding results and personal records. \nFor a few of our elite runners\, today was their first-ever 10K race\, even though they have well advanced to further distances (such as Half Marathon) and bigger races. A whopping record of 44:49! For some of our courageous apprentices\, they finished the race at the speed that pleasantly surprised themselves. Thanks to our Team Captain and Cheerleaders\, because of you\, the race is not just an exciting episode\, but also a fond memory for a long time to come. \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/ridgewood-run/ LOCATION:Ridgewood\, NJ CATEGORIES:Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_3038Low.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180526T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180526T053000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153618 CREATED:20180522T145444Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T121851Z UID:1131-1527296400-1527312600@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Rockland Lake Park BBQ Run DESCRIPTION:A group of avid Bergen Running Club members needed no excuses to gather for an epic pre-summer BBQ at the scenic Rockland Start Park to kick off the Memorial Day Weekend. Following a practice run ahead of the Tenafly 5K on the first Sunday of June\, (spoiler: Stay tuned for this event! )\, Bergen Runners brought their home-cooked food to the beautiful lakeside state park for a fun “Run-and-Grill-BBQ” gathering.  \nThe group enjoyed an afternoon of activities\, food and desserts as the participants bantered and exchanged stories and workout and diet tips.  \nThe day ended with a video recording of the runners’ signature “Race and Cheer” posture. Whether running fulfills a passion\, a need for speed or both\, it inevitably connects our body and mind.  In some instances\, it may even allow for our mind to transcend our physical limitation and achieve the unthinkable. \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/rockland-lake-park-run-fun/ LOCATION:Rockland Lake Park\, 299 Rockland Lake Rd\, Valley Cottage\, NY CATEGORIES:Social & Family Event,Theme Run ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/RocklandLake.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180525T223000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180526T113000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153618 CREATED:20180527T094728Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180604T225720Z UID:1332-1527287400-1527334200@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Run with Your Kids DESCRIPTION:A cute running buddy joined us today and kids love it! \n \n  URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/bring-your-kids-to-run-2/ LOCATION:Ridgewood Duck Pond CATEGORIES:Run with Your Kids,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180525T223000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180525T233000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153618 CREATED:20180522T145942Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T141115Z UID:1134-1527287400-1527291000@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Tenafly 5K Practice Run DESCRIPTION:Practice run for 6/3 Tenafly 5K route.

Attracted us was not the famous Graffiti street arts or the Brooklyn hipster pizza\, but the widely-celebrated 13.1 Miles half marathon course starting from Brooklyn Museum/Prospect Park to the shoreline of Coney Island.  \nA crowd of 25\,000 was fueled with excitement despite of a bit of chilly rain and the long wait time at the beginning line. Our experienced racers turned the drizzles into a full-course cooling system to play to our full advantage. Personal records were set and results well-exceeded expectations for the many of us.  \nAt the finish line by the shoreline\, a carnival-like setting awaited for the soaked racers with loads of cheering. Looking back\, the course was full of Brooklyn historical landmarks and features\, yet reasonably challenging. Can’t wait to come back here next year!  \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/brooklyn-half/ LOCATION:Brooklyn\, New York CATEGORIES:Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_1914_1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180511T230000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180512T080000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153618 CREATED:20180527T100342Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180601T052116Z UID:1344-1526079600-1526112000@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Saturday Group Run DESCRIPTION:Our weekly regular group run in Saddle River County Park.

There was something for everyone. Bergen runners were joined by other local clubs in Jersey and almost 50 athletes showed up proud and strong. \nFor our elite runners\, this was the race that knocks the door open to the 2019 Boston Marathon or sets another personal record; for others we just wanted to be there for the “pancake-flat” scenery course\, company of the fellow runners and the after-race beach party.  \nThe rain stopped right before the race and the sun shined out right after; A perfect race and party day! Big thanks go to all the volunteers for your cheers\, photographs\, and home-felt team tent full of food\, drinks and laughter.  \nMedia coverage \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/new-jersey-marathon/ LOCATION:Long Branch New Jersey CATEGORIES:Race END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180427T230000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180428T000000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153618 CREATED:20180527T125712Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T141347Z UID:1395-1524870000-1524873600@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Saturday Group Run DESCRIPTION:Our regular Saturday Group Run in Saddle River Park.

After taking the group photo in front of the “Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart”\, which looks identical to the “Notre-Dame de Paris”\, our runners broke out into several smaller groups based on their skill levels. Even though groups were running at different paces\, they all enchanted by the marvelous cherry blossoms and stopped to snap some pictures. \nWe ended the theme run with new found appreciation for the beautiful cherry blossoms backdrop right in our neck of the woods!  We suspect some of us may skip a trip to Washington D.C. next year and return to the Branch Brook Park instead for a quick getaway and Cherry Blossoms sighting. \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/cherry-blossom-run/ LOCATION:Branch Brook Park\, Newark\, New Jersey CATEGORIES:Group Run,Theme Run ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/CherryBloosomRun.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180414T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180414T010000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153618 CREATED:20180527T123913Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T142422Z UID:1378-1523664000-1523667600@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:River Edge 5K DESCRIPTION:Add River Edge 5K Race to your “Must-Attend” yearly race planner! This year the local friendly 5K community race just got a little louder and more competitive with Bergen Runners crashing the party and stealing the spotlights. \nAfter 8 weeks of 5K training for the beginners\, the novice runners proudly accomplished their first 3.1 mile race on a mildly hilly course. Parent-child team was another theme that inspired many fellow runners and viewers. Our elites runners run and shined throughout the course.  \nThe best part was the award ceremony when our runners were called onto the podium to accept medals for the top runners in their age group.  Our Captain Renny won the Fastest Resident Runner.  Most importantly\, the event organizers recognized the club as the Best Presented Club on the race day.  There was no doubt Bergen Runners were most visible on the race route today.  URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/river-edge-5k/ LOCATION:River Edge\, New Jersey CATEGORIES:5k Training,Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_3564_low.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180412T230000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180413T080000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153618 CREATED:20180527T124615Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T142627Z UID:1386-1523574000-1523606400@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Spring 5k Pasta Dinner / Photographer Workshop DESCRIPTION:A potluck party the night before the 5k race. Our runners brought delicious home made specialties while Sam Liu\, our photographer\, gave club remembers a wonderful demonstration on how to take good sports photos. Captain Renny Shih shared some important tip for the first time racers. We played 180 cadence game and the party finished with a group dance and a high spirit.  We were ready for the next day’s race! \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/river-edge-5k-pasta-dinner-photographer-workshop/ LOCATION:Holy Name Hospital CATEGORIES:5k Training,Social & Family Event,Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_1267low.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180406T230000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180407T000000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153618 CREATED:20180527T130557Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T141721Z UID:1399-1523055600-1523059200@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Spring 5k Training Week 7 - River Edge 5K Practice Run DESCRIPTION:One week before the River Edge 5K\, Bergen Runners met at the Cherry Hill School to practice the 5k route together. Two club photographers Sam Liu and SH also came for the practice shooting to find the perfect picture spots. Many beginner runners surprised themselves with new PR by running this race-like run and were very excited about the possibility of logging a faster time a week later. \nHot red bean soup\, sweet congee\, pumpkin pie were served in the school parking lot to warm up runners on this chilly April morning.

This year’s new course started from Prospect Park in Brooklyn\, passed Manhattan Bridge turned into FDR drive\, through iconic Times Square and finished in the New York Central Park. We ran in freezing temperature with our Misty Mountain Runners friends and other 21\,965 runners. The course was somehow challenging especially the hilly finish in Central Park but the crowd cheers compensate for everything. Despite the cold weather\, some our club members worked as volunteers whole morning. They guided runners and people traffic\, greeted and took photos for our runners near the finish area.

Chris did a great job leading the run-walk group.

Many beginners choose to use run and walk method so we will focus mostly on this group of runners through out the journal. To implement this method\, we need to have a good tool to help us with the interval timing. We recommend RunKeeper for this purpose since it has a very good interval feature and has the ability to track the running route at the same time.  See below how to setup interval workout in Runkeeper.
