To be held at Shobnall due to slippery conditions on the roads and footpaths.

Leader: Barry Birch

The training run will start from the MEADOWSIDE Leisure Centre at 7:15pm. This time we’ll do a longer hill than in previous sessions. We’ll warm up running to Beaufort Rd via Clay St. which is about 1.4 miles. Then 2 sets of 15 minute runs up and down the hill between Quorn Close and Grafton Rd. One uphill run will be about .22 miles. The hill run will be entirely on the well-lit footpath and won’t cross any side roads. But high vis jackets will still be needed.

Hill reps on Beaufort Road between Derwent Road and Daleside. Warm up run from Meadowside to Derwent at 7:15pm.

Leader: Barry Birch
Intervals on Lawn Farm track (Anglesey Street) at the rear of the Albion Pub on Shobnall Road.

Leader: Barry Birch
Considering that the Burton 10mile race is on Sunday I’ve decided to do intervals again and anyone wishing to just have a 4 mile jog (or shorter) can join us on the farm track at the rear of the Albion Pub on Shobnall Road (DE14 2BE). We will meet at Shobnall Reception before leaving at 7:15pm to run to the Albion.

We’ll do a warm up jog on the farm track before beginning the workout of alternating quarter mile run at pace, quarter mile recovery, over 2 miles. Two sets.
Or just jog the course.

Leader Marie Hutson
There's a few races upcoming with long hills so for a bit of practice this is a 0.6 mile (1km) off-road hill from Elms Road to the water tower on Tower Road followed by a 0.3mile (500m) slight downhill to the far end of Tower Road. Then back to the water tower and down the hill to complete one 1.8 mile (3km) rep. and take a short rest. We'll do 2 reps and if we get a bit strung out the faster guys can do a bonus third rep. Park on Elms Road.

Meet at Meadowside Leisure Centre at 7:15pm (parking £1). From there we will do a warm up jog to Elms Road.
This is a 0.6 mile (1km) mainly off-road hill from Elms Road to the water tower on Tower Road followed by a 0.3mile (500m) slight downhill to the far end of Tower Road. Then back to the water tower and down the hill to complete one 1.8 mile (3km) rep. and take a short rest. We'll do 2 reps and if we get a bit strung out the faster guys can do a bonus third rep.

Check Facebook posts. If there's enough support Paul Mellor will lead a recovery run to follow the previous evening's exertions at the Washlands Relays. Down the river from the Meadowside Leisure Centre to the Riverside Hotel and return along Burton Rd, Branston Rd to the Leisure Centre. Meet at Meadowside Leisure Centre reception.

Meet at Shobnall reception for a 7:15pm departure. We’ll warm-up with a jog past the running track to the canal bridge to the east of Shobnall, and then along the cycle track to Dallow St. bridge and back to the Shobnall bridge. The intervals at pace will be done on this cycle path (0.22 miles, 353m) followed by a recovery jog back along the canal tow path to the start. So the loop is around 0.45 miles. We’ll do these reps for 15 minutes, take a rest then do a second set.

We had a track session on Tuesday so I’ve decided not to do another workout on Thursday. Instead we’ll do a 6 mile run from Shobnall Reception which can be used for recovery, Fartlek sprints for those who want to, or just come for a run. The route is another of my mystery footpaths runs. So it’s all on tarmac and on as many footpaths or cycle tracks as I can find.

Meet at Shobnall Reception for a 7:15pm departure. We will do a 1.4 mile warm up run to Forest Edge Way. If you can’t make it to Shobnall for 7:15 go directly to Forest Edge Way; we’ll probably get there at 7:30 but it won’t matter if you’re a little late.
Forest Edge Way is a loop of 0.35 miles having an elevation gain of 22 feet for the first half of the lap, so the intervals will have a slight uphill and downhill. The course is in a residential area, crosses no roads, has good street lighting and has little traffic.
The plan is to do 2 sets of 5 x 2 minute efforts with 1 minute recovery between each; 5 minute break between sets.

Leader: Barry Birch
Meet at the MEADOWSIDE Leisure Centre for a 7:15pm depature (bring £1 for parking). It’ll be hill rep’s on Beaufort Road. We’ll warm up running to Beaufort Rd via Clay St. which is about 1.4 miles.

So we’ll do 3 sets of 10 minute runs up and recovery jog down the hill with a short rest between each set.

Reservoir Road. Meet at Shobnall Leisure Complex at 19:15 and jog 2.6 km the long way around to Reservoir Road to warm up, via the A38 footbridge, Belvoir Road, Belvedere Road and Lower Outwoods Road. There is a short section of unlit footpath into the new estate between Lower Outwoods Road and Reservoir Road. I'll bring a head torch but it's not necessary for everyone to do so as we can huddle or just walk that bit. We should be at the bottom of Reservoir Road shortly after 19:30 if anyone would prefer to meet us there. Cool down jog about 1km, the short way back to Shobnall. See the email for details of the session. Note: Shobnall car park may be closed this evening.
