If you’ve come to the site looking for information on the Donfaster 5k you can find everything you need on our dedicated page here!
If you’re running the race don’t forget it’s this Friday (6th October!).  You’ll be running the same 5k course as before on the Doncaster Dome cycle track, but this time it promises to be a bit cooler (and you’ll also be running under the floodlights)!
Everything you need is listed in the race pack, which is linked on the race page, but you can also find it here.

Good morning! Forms for next week’s sessions are up. As always, please put your name down if you’re coming to any of them.
Tuesday’s session is detailed on the 10K plan (pinned to featured) and is much lighter this week to account for those racing on Friday. For reference it’ll be:
5 * 1 min / 1 min
2 min total rest
10 * 30 sec / 60 sec
Jo is taking a social for those wanting an alternative.
Thursday’s route is R2, which is just over 7 miles. There are a couple of shortcut options (back up Church Lane and along Bawtry Road will shorten it dramatically to around 3 miles, straight back along Bawtry Road will knock a good mile off at least).
See you in the week!

Morning all! Forms for this week have been up since Friday. Those who have already put their names down have passed the test, if you intend to come this week, join them or face Jim’s wrath! 
Pyramid session on Tuesday (see Doncaster 10K plan.)
Social with Jo for those wanting something more pedestrian.
R1 is the route Thursday.
See you in the week!

Hi all, forms for next week are now up!
Please remember to put your name down if you’re coming to any of the sessions.
David Langford will be taking a social on Tuesday.
The interval set will be hill reps on Cenotaph.
