Group Workouts
The 1000 Mile Club meets on Monday evenings for group workouts in the San Quentin yard. Workouts are led by Coach Ruona with the assistance of two other volunteer coaches, Diana Fitzpatrick and Kevin Rumon. Monday workouts are varied and consist of typical track-type high intensity interval training, pick-up relays, and pacing runs. Occasionally Coach Ruona coordinates a longer Friday morning pacing run, ranging from eight to twelve miles. The 1000 Mile Club is the only athletic group that trains year-round at San Quentin.
Individual Training
Club members do most of their training individually or in small groups. Members record and submit their mileage on a monthly mileage sheet to the club president who keeps a running total. Some 1000 Mile Club members have run thousands of miles at San Quentin.
