Tuesday
7:15pm. Meet at cul-de-sac off the roundabout opposite Christchurch in West Hill coming out of Epsom on the B280. This is a training session with our coach Dave Huck. 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 Upper High Street car park just up from the Odeon cinema in Epsom. 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.
Saturday
8:30 am. Court Recreation Ground, Lower car park, Pound Lane
This is a good opportunity for newcomers to attend. There are usually two groups, one slower paced running about 3 - 4 miles and another at a faster pace over 5 - 7 miles, but again stopping as necessary. We will run off-road, except in exceptionally bad weather. Epsom Common and Horton Country Park are favourites.
Sunday
08:30 Horton Country Park, Epsom.
Many Sunday's are race days and there is no regular venue. We will however organise some training for those taking part in the London Marathon, from January through to April, and from time to time will arrange special runs from other locations, for example in the Leatherhead - Bookham area. Details will be published in the newsletter or can be confirmed by attending one of the other training sessions.
Notes on Thursday evening run
Richard Turner writes: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.
