No more training sessions

It was decided by the regular members of the training group at a meeting last night, the group will not be running any more under the NCH heading, merely as runners in a private capacity. The regular numbers have dwindled and the worsening congestion on Nottingham roads are among the reasons for this decision. So after just over 14 years the advertised Tuesday sessions have now ended.

Training Tuesday 31st October 2017 Bramcote LC and Nottingham Tennis Centre

After a very long absence regular posting of sessions is recommencing with tomorrow night's sessions. 2 locations are running simultanteously due to logistics caused by ever increasing rush hour traffic. Bramcote LC from 6.10-6.15pm.  A 5 miles (approx) course at about 7 mins per mile. Nottingham Tennis Centre from 6pm: 10 mins per mile pace for about 6 - 7 miles . Meet at each venue about 10 mins before the start times. Initially the groups will be very small until new recruits or old friends rejoin us. We meet up in a up in a pub afterwards for a meal and a chin wag (as we have done for years).
