Doncaster's friendliest road and trail running club
Evening all, forms for next week are now up! Please remember to put your name down if you’re coming, nice and early if you think you’ll be there on Thursday in particular so that we can ensure we have enough cover for the group you’re in.
Tuesday’s session is 20 * (1 min / 1 min recovery).
Thursday’s route is R5, which is about 5.5 miles.
See you in the week!
The club shop is open if you are after a T-shirt or Hoodie.
T-shirts – the sizing are smaller than expected, so generally go one size bigger than you think.
Hoodies – these have a zip, we have a few in stock at the Hub, check with us tonight or next Tuesday to see if we have your size in stock or try for sizing.
Race Vests – we hold a stock of club vests at the hub (£25)
The shop will be open until 0800 on 20th March, after that date all orders will be sent into production. There is an approximate lead time of 4-6 weeks for delivery.
Hi everyone, forms for this week are up! Please put your name down if you’re coming to these sessions.
Tuesday’s track session will be 10 * 3 minutes, with 1 minute recovery. If you are racing tomorrow (good luck!) and intend to come along, this should be a relaxed fartlek. Otherwise, reps at ~10K race pace.
Thursday’s route is R13 in reverse. This is around 7.3 miles and there’s a shortcut back up Gliwice Way if you need to cut it in half.
Don’t forget to pay your subs!
See you in the week!
Morning all, forms for this coming week are up! As always, please make sure that you put your name down if you’re coming to any of the sessions.
The main session on Tuesday is 20 * (1 min / 1 min recovery) with a 1K cherry on top at the end. Homework before then (Jim will be spot-checking 🤪) is to:
a) have a half marathon goal time in mind
b) go here (or install the app) and enter this time, and it will tell you what the pace is per km for that time and distance.
c) remember it for the 1K rep as above
As an alternative, Nick will lead a social – all road, just over 10K at 10 minute/mile pace.
Thursday’s route is R6 in Reverse and is just over 10K (~6.5 miles). There is a shortcut at about 5K (~3.1 miles) we believe.
See you in the week!
Evening everyone! The forms for next week are now up, please make sure that you are putting your name down if you’re coming to any of the sessions.
We received a number of messages last week the night before Thursday’s session from people saying they couldn’t book because the groups were full. If you know you’re definitely coming to these sessions, please get your name down early so that we have plenty of time to make arrangements to ensure that you can run with us.
A reminder also on etiquette – you MUST run to the pace of the group, which is set by the leader and not you.
Sometimes that pace will be faster than advertised, sometimes slower – the leader will manage this based on how everyone else is coping in the group.
Generally speaking, if you are in front of the leader, you are in the wrong place and you should put yourself on the naughty step by jogging (not stopping and waiting) to the BACK of the group. You should be regularly checking your placement within the group and adjusting your own pace accordingly.
Remember that these Thursday nights are social runs. The paces are set as a guideline so that everyone in your group has a reasonable expectation of how quickly they need to run and so that they are not left clinging on at the back because someone’s decided that’s the night they want to treat it like a time trial!
On Tuesday, David L will take a social run.
The track session is ~1km repeats. Suggested reps:
G1 / G2 marathoners: x 8
G2 / G3, those on otherwise high volume: x 7
Minimum: x 5
each with 1 min rest.
Juniors:
3 * (1K, 600m, 400m)
5 * 200m
Thursday’s route is new and is about 6.5 miles. There is a shortcut back down Bawtry Road, which will bring it to about 4 miles.
See you in the week!
