Craig will lead a group of up to six people, departing from outside the Y Club at 6:00pm. The total distance is around 8 miles.
You must sign up in advance; numbers will be strictly limited to six people and you will not be allowed to run with the group if you have not registered in advance.
Note: the Y Club and Castlefield Hotel are currently closed. There are no changing or toilet facilities; you need to turn up "ready to run".
Session Format
Our group runs take place every Thursday, starting at the Y Club at 6:30pm. After a quick warm up, the Captains will gather the group together for Club Notices, after which we split into sub-groups before heading off on one of our many routes.
Each group will run at a different pace and will be led by a club member, so there should always be a pace group suited to you. The number of groups is flexible depending on the number of runners down on any particular night, but we’ll generally have the following six groups:
Group 1:
- 8 miles (13 km)
- 7.00 min / mile (4.20 min / km) +/- 30 secs
Group 2:
- 8 miles (13 km)
- 8.00 min / mile (5.00 min / km) +/- 30 secs
Group 3:
- 8 miles (13 km)
- 8.30-9.00 min / mile (5.20-5.40 min / km) +/- 30 secs
Group 4:
- 8 miles (13 km)
- 9.30-10.00 min / mile (5.50-6.15 min / km) +/- 30 secs
Group 5:
- 6 miles (10 km)
- 10.00 min / mile (6.15 min / km) +/- 30 secs
Group 6:
- 3 miles (5 km)
- This group will run at whatever pace is comfortable for everyone
If you’re not sure which group to go in on your first visit, we'd advise starting off in Group 6 and try to work your way up to the next one!
