Road and Fell Racing/Training 2009

Training Sessions and local races for the (virtual) running club, Nottingham City Harriers. During the summer (from the last weekend in March) we are based at Bramcote Leisure Centre which gives easy access to off-road runs. Saturdays are for Racing, Sundays are for Long Runs

During the winter (from the last Tuesday in September) we are based at Nottingham Tennis Centre, University Boulevard, Nottingham, NG7 2QH, UK, Aerial view, which gives easy access to the road.

We offer training for everyone, whether in a club or not. For example, there are two groups, one doing 10 miles at a strong pace which is for those whose times are below 37 - 38 mins for 10k, 62mins for 10 miles 85 mins for a half-marathon or run on the fells. Geoff's group is for slower paced runners, down to very roughly 50 mins 10K, 70 mins for 10m, 105 mins half-marathon and who would like to improve.

    Tuesday 22 December - 6:30pm
    Tennis Centre for a 10 mile run. The route will likely be Wollaton if the Bolsheviks get their way again ;-)

    Think there's also some talk of a post-run meal at Nosh in Beeston, although I'm not certain about the arrangements - think Lord E is coordinating.

    Friday 25 December - 2pm
    National Gluttony Contest - infamous annual competition to identify individuals capable of consuming more than 5-times their weekly caloric requirements in a single sitting.

    Sunday 27 December
    If anyone is interested in Papplewick 18 or you have anything else in mind, let me know and I'll meet you.

    Geoffs Group Tuesday 8th December 6.30pm Nottingham Tennis Centre

    Continuing the theme of recent weeks Wilford Hill fartlek; its seems to be doing some good even if it may not be fuly appreciated on the night.

    One or two of us took part in the North Mids league XC at Berry Hill Park yesterday. The field was so vast that, at the time of writing (7pm Sunday or 29 hours 5 mins after the start), the results are still not on their website. I will add our runners results here as and when.

    Is the literal translation into english of "Tai Chi" - "Knitting Club"?

    10 miles fartlek this week - getting a little meaner. Last week it was Wilford Hill route; minded to do it again.
