Weekly training schedule - Winter
Tuesday
7:15pm. Meet at West Park Road, a turning off Horton Lane, near Christ Church Road. We do a number of repetitions (intervals) over distances from 200 metres to 1600 metres. All levels can participate and beginners may do less repetitions until they are used to the pace.

Thursday
7.15 pm. Meet at the Car Park on the East side of Cheam Road, Ewell Village. This is a training run of approximately six miles. A slower group usually sets off 5 minutes in advance and runs 8 - 9 minute mile pace. Please wear some light or reflective clothing as the run is on public roads.

Sunday
8:30 am meet, 8:40 start. Court Recreation Ground, Lower car park, Pound Lane
This is a good opportunity for newcomers to attend. We run 5 - 7 miles as a group, stopping as necessary for recovery. The pace varies to suit whoever turns up. We will run off-road, except in exceptionally bad weather. Epsom/Ashtead Common and Horton Country Park are favourites.


n.b. Following the trial period to switch from Saturdays to Sundays, the committee have noted that Sundays are more popular. This will therefore be a permanent change, unless any objections are raised at the AGM next June.

Notes on Thursday evening run - Winter schedule

The club rotates Thursday night training around 3 routes each of which are run in both reverse and the 'normal' way. Please can members familiarise themselves with these routes. This is important for safety reasons. If Club members do find themselves running late on a Thursday they may wish to run the route in the opposite direction to the Club in order to try and meet up half way round.

Below is the schedule of routes used for Thursday evening training. Click on a route in the table below for a map of the route:

And so on..................

There are usually 2 groups, with the slower group setting off at 7:10.

Please note: next Thursday evening run is on 09 February 2012, using route Banstead - Normal.
