Wharfside

This week's group run will be the Wharfside route, starting from outside the Y Club at 6:30pm.

We will run as a group out to the Wharfside tram stop (about 1.7 miles). Starting from there everyone runs for 5 minutes along Trafford Wharf Road, before turning around and running back again.

Everyone will arrive back at the starting point at roughly the same time. We'll regroup for a minute or two, then repeat the same thing twice more.

Then after 30 minutes running in total we'll finish with a steady run back to the Y Club.

Session format

We meet at the Y Club reception at 6:30pm. After a quick warm up, the Captains will gather the group together for club notices, after which we’ll split into sub-groups before we head off on the run.

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 and the availability of people to lead a group, however we will try and provide the following pace groups:

• Group 1: 7.00 min / mile (4.20 min / km) +/- 30 secs
• Group 2: 7.30 min / mile (4.40 min / km) +/- 30 secs
• Group 3: 8.30 min / mile (5.20 min / km) +/- 30 secs
• Group 4: 9.30 min / mile (5.50 min / km) +/- 30 secs
• Group 5: 10 min / mile (6:10 min / km) +/- 30 secs

If you’re not sure which group to go in on your first visit, we'd advise starting off in Group 5 and try to work your way up to the next one!

Our routes are generally 6-8 miles (10-13km) but Group 5 will always run 10km or less.
