Training

Club Runs

We meet in main reception at the Water Sports Centre from 6.45 to run at 7 on Monday and Thursday nights.

We have a range of groups which generally run for between 45 minutes and an hour at anywhere from 6 to 10 minute mile pace. These are fairly informal and routes tend to be decided on the night. We have a duty runner to ensure everyone is made welcome and they will either find new runners a suitable group or run with them initially.

In the summer we tend to run to Radcliffe-on-Trent and beyond, or along parts of the Grantham Canal. In the winter, routes are through Edwalton, West Bridgford and the city centre.

All runners should wear suitable high-viz clothing during dark winter nights, and if possible, also wear a headtorch / body torch.
