House of Runners
About
House of Runners is a small groups based performance running club based in UAE and centralized in Dubai.
The club, created by Lydiard Level II and UESCA certified coach Ron George in 2017, carries as its central aim the principle of specificity and periodization in the preparation for middle distance (800-3000m) and long-distance runners (5K-marathon).
There are two wings to the club. A cohort of 15-20 athletes form the Core group and are on special individual training plans for their season events. An Outreach group is for the wider community to join in the running sessions without being on a training plan.
The club is non-profit and not associated with any shoe business, sports companies or other special interests.
Training sessions take place 2-3 times a week, with the weekend morning's RISE runs being the most popular. Track based sessions are held during the preparation phase based on availability.

History
Once upon a time, Ronnie got the idea for community service on a trip to the Buddhist center of Leh in the Himalayas. There he found many devotees spending entire lives in monasteries serving others. After thinking over what he could do to give back, the only thing he found suitable was something he knew and loved – performance running!
After getting back to Abu Dhabi, House of Runners was launched as a Meetup in September 2017. The first meetup had less than 5 attendees! It began with a safety talk and a short instruction on “proper” running biomechanics before launching right into the fun run! We continue to this day …
