This week’s sessions (w/c 26th June)

Morning everyone, form for this week is up – please remember to put your name down if you intend to come along to either of the sessions on Tuesday.

The main session we’ll be doing 600 metre reps in the woods.

If you would like to meet us there, then please park in the car park at the top of the golden mile along the racecourse. Here’s a pin.

BUT… walk back out of the car park back towards the racecourse until you come out of the trees. We will do a warm up (probably on one of the football pitches if they’re free) to the side of the road before going back into the woods to do the session.

Alternatively, if you just want a social jog, then you can do that with Jo.

A reminder that we’re on the away run from Wheatley Hills Rugby Club on Thursday. Details are in this post in the Facebook group – be sure and read that, and post in there if you want something to eat (by no later than Tuesday PM!)

See you in the week!

First race in the DonFaster 5km series is fast approaching!

It’s less than 2 weeks now to the first race in our brand new 5km race series, the “DonFaster 5k”!!  We hope to see lots of new and old faces there for what should be a cracking event.  The cycle track is flat and fast, and the course is UKA measured and certified, so all those shiny new PBs will be official and everything!

If you’ve not entered yet, what’s your excuse?!

Wheatley Hills Away Run (Thursday 29th June)

Scully, Mark Hudson and David Langford will be leading three groups at an away run from Wheatley Hills Rugby Club on Thursday 29th June.

Groups 1 and 2 will run on a trail route of around 6 miles. Group 3 will be a mixture of trail and road and be around 4 miles. Pace to suit the groups.

Please be there for 6:30pm.

Chip butties are £3 each and are payable on the evening – but if you would like one, please let one of them know. Orders must be in no later than PM on Tuesday 27th.

Wheatley Hills Rugby Club is on Brunel Road, DN5 8PT. Brunel Road and the rugby club are behind the Range on York Road, next to Furniture Factors. There is parking available at the club itself and on the adjoining roads.

As always on these away runs, club colours please!

This week’s sessions (w/c 19th June)

Hi all, forms for this week are now available. Please remember to put your name down if you’re coming.

A reminder that we’re at Dam Flask on Tuesday. There WILL be two sessions on this week for those not doing that and they are:

1. Social run with David L.

2. Cenotaph hill reps with Jenny

For those doing Dam Flask, please try and get there early and please wherever possible car share – parking is a nightmare, the fewer cars we can take between us the better.

Would recommend taking a bit of dinner in a lunch box, some sun cream (let’s hope) and some insect repellent!

Thursday’s route will be M6. It’s just under 7 miles and there are two or three opportunities to cut short if you need to.

See you in the week!
