Validation only works if you enter and exit the garage between the times listed and only in the specific garage noted above. Do not park in the spaces designated “Leasing Office” or you will be towed. The validation process is:

• Scan the QR code on the wall of the garage

• Enter all the requested information (after the first time most of the info will be saved so you don’t have to re-enter it all)

• Select a 2 hour parking period on weekdays or a 4 hour parking for the weekend

• At the end (after you have entered credit card info) you will see the opportunity to enter a validation code. Enter GAZR

• Note that sometimes a hold is put on your card at the start of the parking session but it should be released within 24 hours.

For other workout locations, street parking is available. 

Using the Schedule

Our Training Schedule shows the workout and location for each day of the week. Always click on the day’s top workout link to see more detail, especially for race-specific runs.

A typical Gazelle week might look like this:

• Workout 1: (M or T) Strength, hill work, or circuit training. These are challenging workouts designed to build strength and endurance.

• Workout 2: (W or TH) Speed and endurance. These workouts include fartleks, interval runs or lap repeats.

• Long Run: (S) Routes of 3-22 miles are planned for all groups and include hydration stops. Ask your coach to help you find the right pace group.

• Core Class: (Fri 5:30am) Thirty minutes of light-weight exercises and core strengthening exercises, the other 30 minutes are partner exercises with a variety of medicine ball throws.

Locations may change due to weather or other events, so make sure to check the schedule for each workout!*

*Because it is a partial membership, Saturday Gazelles will not have access to the online schedule. Saturday Gazelles receive each week's route via email on Thursday evening.

Keeping UPdated for workouts/weather issues

We use the SportsYou app to communicate with runners in case of any late information to be shared. There are separate groups within the app for each workout group so be sure to sign up with the group you will be attending. And please recognize that this is no intended to be a chat channel, it is for sharing workout-specific information (and Gilbert will often post some photos of the group).
