Club Nights

Posts relating to club nights (Tuesday/Thursdays)

This week’s sessions (w/c 10th Apr)

Hi all, forms for next week are up – please remember to book on if you’re coming.

Tuesday’s interval set will be 12 * (45 seconds, off 60 recovery).

Things will be slightly different for Thursday. Because there are so many people doing Manchester (or London), many of them leaders, we’re going to simplify the evening and just have 3 groups.

It’ll be pretty much like an away social (except not away 😆) with more relaxed pacing in all groups.

Route is going to be M2R – the first part is in the woods, but comes back out and near to the Dome at about 3 and a half miles. This enables all groups to be out of there still with plenty of light and gives those doing the marathon the opportunity to peel off at that point (to the bar?)

Those who want to do the full route can do so – the remainder of it is on road.

See you in the week!

Club Membership Fees 2023-2024 – Now overdue

A huge ‘thank you’ to the 104 club members who have paid their membership fees for 2023-2024.

If you’ve not yet paid your club membership fee, please can you pay by Wednesday 5th April. If we don’t receive your payment by that date, we’ll assume that you don’t wish to renew your membership.

The fee details are below:
· 1st Claim membership – £31. This includes £14 Danum Harriers Running club membership, plus £17 England Athletics (EA) membership. The Committee made the decision to freeze the Danum Harriers Running club fee for 2023/2024.
· 2nd Claim membership (where your 1st claim is with another running club) – £14.

Please can you transfer your payment to our usual bank account (see Amanda or Jo for details).

In the reference field please can you state ‘Fees & Name’. This ensures that we can relate each payment to the person transferring the money.

We’re looking forward to having another great year of running with the Danum Harriers.

Best wishes
DHRC Committee

This week’s sessions (w/c 3rd Apr)

Hi all, forms for next week are up. Please remember – put your name down if you’re coming!

On Tuesday, Mark Bower will be leading a social run. This is likely to be on a mix of road and into and out of a bit of trail before the light fails.

The interval session at the Rail College is 10 * (90 seconds at ~5K pace, off 90 second recovery).

Thursday’s route will skip to R5 for the benefit of those in marathon taper (it’s a shorter route – just over 5 miles).

The following week, if the weather and light permits, we are likely to begin back on our mixed routes. M1 is 6 miles, but offers a cut short of just over 3 miles – ideal for those in the final throes of taper before Manchester, or for those carrying on regardless. Will update on that next week.

See you in the week!

This week’s sessions (w/c 20th Mar)

Morning all! Booking forms for this week have been up a couple of days, but we forgot to post (it’s worth checking the website on a Sunday if you’re a definite for the week, since they’re usually done by then).

Anyway, only the Tuesday sessions to book into this week. Please make sure you put your name down if you’re coming to either.

There’ll be a choice of either social with Andrew Chapman, or intervals at the Rail College.

The interval set will be laps of the perimeter (number variant, will explain on the evening.)

A reminder that it’s Chris Ramsay’s away run from the Glasshouse in Kirk Sandall on Thursday – if you’re coming and want to be fed, please make sure that you have transferred your money in advance. The order goes in on Wednesday.
