Wednesdays
Our main training session is on Wednesday evenings throughout the year.
We meet at the top carpark of the Rolls-Royce Sports and Welfare Club, situated opposite Moorways Swimming Pool on Moor Lane, Derby. (DE24 9HY for Sat-Nav users)
We usually arrive at about 6:45 pm ready to start runing at 7:00 pm, although a group running faster/further often leaves earlier at 6:30pm.
We run in groups of various abilities, from a steady pace covering just a few miles, to a swift sub 7-minute pace covering 10 or more miles.
About once a month, one of our more experienced members orgainises a specific training session. This session can be hills, speed-work, Fartlek / intervals etc. and is usually a very hard workout, but very rewarding.
After the training session, changing rooms and hot showers are available at the Rolls-Royce Gymnasium.
We then meet up in the Rolls-Royce Welfare Club bar for rehydration and carb-loading (a pint and chips). Here we discuss training tactics, the next race, or just have a social chit-chat.
