Now that the evenings are getting darker, our Thursday Social sessions have switched back onto the roads and pavements.
Next Thursday 11th September will be the first of our road-routes. We’ll be heading along the Canal and Velmead route (details and gpx file to below).
Remember to bring your brightest high-viz clothing now that we’re on roads/pavements. And a headtorch can be useful as the street-lighting around Fleet and Crookham isn’t the brightest!
Start and Finish is at the ever-lovely Fox & Hounds Pub (see below).
Revised format - catering for everyone
Our Thursday Social runs are designed to cater for everyone; whether you are super speedy, or walking / recovering from injury – and everything in between.
The Social Committee have been thinking hard about how best to organise the runs, and listening to members’ recent feedback. Whilst it’s been fantastic running as one big group during the summer, we know that in winter it works best – and is safer – to run in groups of a similar pace.
Therefore, we will be reorganising into four different Pace Groups (more details shortly). One of the main points is to make sure that nobody is left behind, and that we support those who want to run fast, as well as those who prefer a slightly steadier pace.
Finally, we will be piloting the Spond sports team management app.
This is widely used by running clubs to find out who plans to attend training sessions in the week ahead, and also indicate which Pace Group you’ll likely run with. It will really help with organising run leaders, and also show you inadvance who else will be running that evening.
