Kersal Wetlands
Thursday 10th September 2020, 6:30:pm
This week's group run will be the Wetlands route starting from outside the Y Club at 6:30pm on 10th September.
We will start to introduce different pace groups again depending on numbers of attendees so that all paces are accounted for, and in accordance with current COVID-19 guidance from England Athletics, we can now remove the limit on attendees as long as we have enough group leaders available, with each leader able to lead sub-groups of 12.
Please sign up in advance - with your full name - using the Doodle poll link below:
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!
