Road and Fell Racing/Training 2008: 13 March 2005

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.
