Nottingham City Harriers 2018- Training for road, cross country running, fell racing

Great Kinder Beer Barrel Challenge by Anna McCormack on 13 September 2004 The history of the event In 1999, the unthinkable happened in the isolated village of Edale in the heart of the Peak District. The popular Nags Head inn ran out of ale. Fortified by a pint or three, the locals came up with numerous ways of rectifying the situation (none of which involved relocating to one of the other nearby pubs!). The most popular solution was for a group to walk over the high moor land of Kinder Scout to the Snake Pass Inn to bring back a full 44kg barrel. Although there is arguably some sense in this – it is only 4.5 miles over the top as the crow flies, as opposed to 17.5 miles around by road – their addled brains had overlooked the strenuous 1000ft climbs and precipitous descents at each end and the featureless peat bogs in the middle!

Don't forget circuits on Wed 7pm Noel Street Leisure Centre. Very good at injury prevention.Light arm exercises in the Lion afterwards. Geoff Jackson enquiries to geoff.j@ntlworld.com

Well the traffic wasn't that bad last Tuesday buts its early days; it could have been a freak so I will stick to 6.15pm start this week. More fast and slow. Oh and circuits on Wed 7pm Noel Street Leisure Centre. Very good at injury prevention.

Hi All The 4th road race is week WEDS 12TH JULY at WORKSOP (approx 5.5m but certainly under 6m) in Clumber Park, great venue & course (no daft hills, this time) Usual 7.15pm start Leave Nottingham north on the A614 until Ollerton roundabout (approx 13 miles), take the 2nd left onto the A616 until you reach a mini roundabout (further 3 miles), turn right here and go straight on at the next mini roundabout (which is almost next to the 1st one) and onto the B6034 which takes you towards Worksop (another 5 miles). Approaching Worksop there is a left turn which would lead you down a steep hill to Worksop itself, dont take this turn, go straight on and take the next RIGHT and into the School and race venue (400m further on) rough map attached (Takes about 35-40 minutes from Redhill centre) Latest road race results & a diverse selection of what else we have all been up to recently are now uploaded at http://www.redhillroadrunners.com See you all there kevin
