Training
Mondays
On Mondays we meet in main reception at the National Water Sports Centre at 6.45 to run at 7.
We can park for free in the car park outside the centre on club nights.
​​
​​There are usually groups that run at 7.30, 8.00, 8.30 and 9.00 mile paces. There is also the steady paced group which runs at the pace of the slowest runner.​
To join a club run, you need to be able to run 5 miles continuously.​​
​​
Look out for the duty runner who will help you find a group to join!
​
Thursdays
This autumn, we're running structured Thursday night sessions at 7pm.
We have a varied programme of hills, intervals and tempo sessions to help build fitness before Track returns. These sessions are open to all members and all paces - whether you’re training for road, cross-country, or just want to improve fitness as part of a group.
Meeting point:
- The Brewhouse (Trent Bridge/Embankment corner) — free parking on the road or in their car park.
- On 27th November when Forest play at home in Europe, we’ll instead meet at The Gamston Lock.
What to bring & expect:
- Sessions include warm-up, main set, and cool down.
- Head torch, hi-vis, and warm clothing recommended.
- Training will be either:
- along the lit tramline (with a car parked at Aldi to store kit), or
- on the Bridgford Escalator hills (Harrow/Eton Road).
- Afterwards, we’ll head back to the pub for refreshments.
If you’d prefer a social run, club members are welcome to form groups from the same meeting point. A duty runner will be there to help coordinate.​
​All runners should wear suitable high-viz clothing during dark winter nights, and if possible, also wear a headtorch / body torch.​
