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.
When Running in a group…
- Wear something bright and reflective on evening sessions and/or when the weather is poor.
- Advisable to have either an ICE band or next of kin contact details with you in case of accident.
- Stay off the road (and ON the pavements!) where 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 may need a suitable recovery break.
- 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.
- 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's Facebook members page to post for training partners and additional sessions.
- Don’t hesitate to contact us for further details.
