ALL THE INFORMATION BELOW REFERS TO OUR "NORMAL" RUN PROGRAMME. HOWEVER THIS IS SUSPENDED WHILE WE EMERGE FROM THE COVID RELATED RESTRICTIONS. KEEP AN EYE ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA FOR THE LATEST UPDATES
Our evening runs start at the Hammerton Store on Great Western Road.
The morning runs start over the road at the top of Salisbury Terrace.
We try and gather as quietly as we can, to not disturb the neighbours
The groups each have a lead runner and a tail runner, and begin with a run briefing, detailing the planned route, and a 5-minute warm up walk
MONDAY - 7PM
On Mondays we have four groups, leaving from the Hammerton Store at 7pm.
The Fast "F" Group - will cover around 5k, going at a pace around 6min/km (9.5min/mile).
The Long "L" Group - will cover between 6 and 8k, at a slower pace between
6.5–7.5 min/km (10.5-12 min/mile).
The Jogger "J" Groups - will cover around 5k, and are suitable for anyone who can run that distance. During the C25k programme, the Jog group all run together. Outwith the C25k programme, the Jog group breaks down into "Steady" runners - generally around 6-7 min/km (9.5 - 11 min/mile) pace and the "Sedate" group following at around 7–8 min/km (11-12.5 min/mile) pace
WEDNESDAY - 6AM
On Wednesday morning we alternate between a hill rep session, and lamppost sprints.
For the hill reps, we begin with a 2k warm up run, and then do a "pyramid rep" on Gray Street, before a 1km run home. It's suitable for all, and is great for improving your strength, stamina and fitness
The lamppost sprints follow a route around Forbesfield Road and Burns Road, with the intention being that you increase the pace between alternate lampposts, and recover in between. Again, an excellent session for improving your fitness and speed.
WEDNESDAY - 7PM
