Thursday Evening Training

These are our longer runs. During winter, they tend to be along roads with headtorches – during summer we make the most of the beautiful scenery around us, with off-road runs around the local moors and villages, off-road wherever possible. These runs are typically 7-9 miles long and a schedule is listed on our website.

We split into four groups; three run the same route but at different paces so you’re not pressured to keep up with our faster runners. The fourth group tends to do a shorter route – usually 5-6 miles, so no one is left out if 7-9 miles seems a bit too long.

On Thursday nights we occasionally mix it up – during summer we have an away run (sometimes in conjunction with another local club) approx. once a month, with a social drink, sandwiches and chips in a pub afterwards.

During winter, we have a 10k timed run to Matlock Bath, so you can race against others and yourself, to see if you can improve during the winter months.
