As the lighter nights approach and historically our Wednesday road running group integrate back into the main off road group I would like to keep available the option of two runs during the summer months by way of offering a second faster paced off road running group.
This new run group would operate in exactly the same way as the existing road running group has previously operated and will importantly maintain the same start/finish venue with roughly the same time duration so we retain the same club unity and feel pre and post run.
The introduction of this new group is aimed at providing members the option to run further/faster than the main group ordinarily would. Initially 8 miles will be the targeted distance so pace will be circa 11 min/mile. The intention is to offer members who maybe training for or building up to an event with a meaningful run. This new option is available to all and will operate on a strict “no drop” policy for those wishing to try and see if this type of run is for them. Once established, the distance/pace can then be developed to meet the needs of those that find most use of this run.
The new run group will be available for those interested on April 3rd at the Ship, Sandside.
Regards
Jon Walllbank
