What we run.

A different format every Wednesday. Don't speak German? No problem, everyone's welcome and we're happy to chat in English.

Easy Fun Run

5 km · 7:00 to 7:30 min/km

Our original. Five kilometres through the Großer Garten, slow enough to chat the whole way.

Intervals at the Palais

6 × 400 m · everyone at their own pace

We jog over to the Palais to warm up, then run 6 × 400 m around the Palaisteich with 100 m of easy jogging or walking in between. Afterwards we jog back together.

Questions we hear a lot.

Is it free?

Yes. It doesn't cost anything.

Do I need to sign up?

No. If you like, tell us you're coming on Strava, but you don't have to. Just show up.

Am I too slow?

Probably not. On the Easy Fun Run we go 7:00 to 7:30 min/km, which is a chatting pace. For intervals everyone runs their own pace and we jog back together.

I don't know anyone. Is that weird?

Not at all. New people come every week and most of them didn't know anyone either. Just say hi at the meeting point.

My German isn't great. Is that a problem?

Not for us. Everyone's welcome and we're happy to chat in English.

How do I know what we're running this week?

We post it on Instagram (@powered_by_pasta_rc) before every run. You'll find us on Strava too.

What's with the name?

We run for the carbs. That's pretty much it.
