Runs typically take 1 hr for the groups distance

Meet at the designated point on the grass in front of the school shop ( see image )

If there isn’t a run leader for the distance you want, and you want to run with the club, then select a slower group and actively muster to attain the speed and distance.

 

 

Sunday Leisurely Runs:   8.30 Lymm Library

Whether you fancy 5 or 6 miles on a Sunday morning, or 10ish+, we will meet from 8.30am at Lymm Library and set off together. There will be two groups; one will run for about an hour; the other for about two. The pace will be relaxed and is typically 10-11 minute/mile.

Typically 11-12 miles. We will meet from 8.30am at Lymm Library and set off together. We run for about two hours. The pace will still be relaxed and is typically 9 to 10 minute/mile.

 

General Group Advice:

Accommodating Different Abilities

All running clubs comprise runners of differing speed and endurance. Our sessions accommodate a mix of abilities and sessions are structured so that whatever your fitness level you will be encouraged to train well and have the opportunity for self-challenge.

  • Thursday Road Runs – a range of distance groups are available ranging from 4 to 7+ miles (to be run in an hour)
  • Sunday Road Runs – a range of distance groups are available from 6 to 12 miles ( to be run in either 1 or 2 hours )
  • Run Group Mustering – all run groups will muster; the run leader will set various mustering points, faster runners reach the point and then run back and stay behind the last runner to enable the group to stay together as they reach the muster point. Quicker runners can repeatedly muster and run at their own training pace whereas slower runners do not get separated or feel they are determining the pace for others.
  • Whenever possible, the Run Leader will post the route, length and pace of the run they are leading on the Members facebook page
  • Tuesday Sessions – whatever activity is planned the coach will be aware of different fitness levels and will suggest targets for you accordingly (for example, if you’ve run one it could be based on your recent Parkrun or 10K time).

When Running in a group…

  • Wear something bright and reflective on evening sessions and/or when the weather is poor.
  • Ensure you have either an ICE band or next of kin contact details with you in case of accident.
  • Stay off the road as much as possible, many Lymm roads are narrow and poorly lit. Your safety is paramount.
  • Look out for each other, run in small groups with similar pace.
  • Be ever aware of oncoming traffic in both directions.
  • Be conscious of the slower/lesser experienced runners who need a suitable rest point.
  • Welcome new faces and say hello to those you don’t know yet.

Ad-hoc runs are arranged on a casual basis between members. Use the club Facebook group to post for training partners and additional sessions.

Don’t hesitate to contact us for further details.
