Hi all, forms for this coming week are now up. As always, please ensure that your name is down if you’re coming along!

Tuesday’s session is:
10 mins ~ 10K – half marathon effort (if half marathon is slower than your Thursday group pace, run at your 10K race effort), 2 min standing/walk recovery
6 * (4 min / 1 min), efforts somewhere between 5-10K race effort

Thursday’s route is M10. It’s around 7.5 miles and although there are a couple of shortcuts, the meaningful cut off points are not particularly straightforward unless you know the area – so make sure you go in a group that you will be comfortable in.

See you in the week!

Forms for this week are now complete, please put your name down if you’re coming along to any of the sessions.

Tuesday’s track session is 8 * (3 min / 1 min), would suggest you do the efforts at target 10K race pace, particularly if you raced DonFaster on Friday night, w/ standing / walk recoveries.

Thursday’s route is M15, details for this route are on the website.

Alternatively, there is a 20 minute hill session on over at Pit Top, led by Scully.

Hello all, forms for next week are now up. Please put your name down if you’re coming along!

Tuesday’s track session is 15 * (30 secs/30 secs), go hard in the efforts if you’re not racing tomorrow / Friday, lighter if you are to either.

Thursday’s route is M1R.

The hill session this week is 30 min Buddy downhill tag reps.

If you intend to come to the picnic on July 11th, and haven’t done so already, a reminder that you need to let us know ASAP.
Please see Amanda’s post

Good morning everyone!

Because we’re not able to accurately predict how hot it’s going to get tomorrow night, we’ve taken the decision to cancel the Thursday sessions.

This isn’t something we do often (once for snow and once for heat I think since I joined in late 2017), but we’re making the call now so that you have a chance to get out first thing tomorrow or make your own choice as to whether or not you train in the evening.

Keep hydrated, see you next week!

Hi all, forms for this week are now up. Please make sure your name is down if you’re coming to any of the sessions (and remove it if you’re then unable to make it)!

Tuesday’s track session is 8 * (2 min / 1 min), @ target 10K race pace (in prep for Barnsley 10K). Walking/standing recoveries.

Thursday’s route is M1R (M1 in Reverse – this is mainly in the woods).

Alternatively, the week 6 of hills is 30 min Buddy downhill relay reps (jog uphill recoveries).

Please remember to hydrate well ahead of any of these sessions (little and often throughout the day) so we can avoid any potential medical issues.

See you in the week!
