Road and Fell Racing/Training 2008: 12 December 2004

Road and Fell Racing/Training 2008

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. gary.mcmahon(at)bigfoot.com

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.

Training and Racing 14 December - 21 December 2004

Tuesday 14 December - 6:30pm - Tennis Centre (the water is back on for a hot shower)
10M - How about the Stapleford Route? Hard out and HARD back; no short-cuts :>

10 mile route only, due to a lack of turn offs From TC, west along Uni B'vard, then left at Queens Rd East. Follow this road for about 3.5 miles to the Manor pub, turn right. Follow this road all the way to Stapleford, crossing the A52 on the way. Turn right, up to the Bramcote Island, then continue down the A52 to the Priory Island, turning right onto Woodside Rd, then back along Uni B'vard.

Thursday 16 December - 6:30 pm - Bramcote Leisure Centre
A torch-light run. After last nights fun run from Bramcote to Cossall. Tonight will see a re-run of the torch-light extravaganza on the cossall route. Gary has one spare head-torch, otherwise bring along a torch for this exciting event. 7-8M, starting steady, finishing quick - in the dark!

Easy 1 hour session round the Park & University.

Tuesday 14th December - Geoff's group

Business as usual this Tuesday; subject to my foot having recovered sufficiently. During Papplewick at the top of Sand Hill I trod on a tree root and it pushed my foot back painfully. I had to walk from Pylon Hill back to Papplewick as the pain was too much, but it is in rehab now. Take it I will be there unless there is an update posting this week.

Kick off 6.30 p.m
