LITTLE FAT BOYSober Run Club

Sober Run Club.
Run. Eat. Run.

Meet at the Benicia State Park to run anywhere from 1 to 5 miles. We go at a pace where everyone can still talk. It’s all about staying healthy, sober, and making new connections.

What we are about

Healthy, sober, and social.

Healthy

Move your body, get some fresh air, and build a habit that sticks.

Sober

Whether you are years sober, a few days in, or just sober-curious, you belong here.

Social

Run at a pace where you can still hold a conversation.

Pick your distance

1 to 5 miles.

The pace rule of thumb is: if you can’t talk, slow down.

1mi

First mile

Brand new or coming back? Walk, jog, or mix both.

2–3mi

Steady

A comfortable loop for people building a base.

4–5mi

Longer loop

For people who want more time on the trail.

Optional challenge

Murph, for the brave.

I also take on the Murph workout, the Navy SEAL tribute named for Lt. Michael Murphy. It is completely optional and fully scalable: split the reps however you like, cut them in half, or just come cheer.

You never have to do it to be part of the club. There is no set Murph day. Want to try it? Tick the Murph box when you sign up and I’ll do it with you.

The workout

  1. 11 mile run
  2. 2100 pull-ups
  3. 3200 push-ups
  4. 4300 air squats
  5. 51 mile run

The full version is done in a 20 lb vest. Partition the middle any way you want. Listen to your body and scale as needed.
