Kings Road

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

Different pace and distance groups will be available depending on numbers of attendees.

The full route is approximately 8-miles.

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!
