I had this idea yesterday, I want to put together a Runner's Club that consists of formation runs with cadence calling for veterans. I used to hate group PT but I've come to miss the activity and teambuilding. I thought this would be a great way to network between veterans in the local area and motivate them to stay active during the week. I imagine this to be once a week in the early morning at a local park. Everyone shows up, we stretch out, and run for an hour at the typical formation run pace. Is this a feasible idea? I've done a local survey with my veteran buddies who told me I was nuts and that no one would ever join me in this endeavor. SO, I'm hoping responses here would be more diverse.

I am sure some might think this is a good idea. For me, I only run when chased so it wouldn't be a good option for me.

On the list of "things I'd rather never do again" running in formation with a cadence is pretty high up there...

As an avid runner (well, ok...down for a week with a sprain at present), I'd enjoy something like this-maybe without the cadence all the time though. Getting a group of vets together to run might be a good idea; the formation thing might be less popular though...just my $.02

Kinda thought about trying to organize something similar in my neck o' the woods...that, or a ruck march.
