On Wednesday evenings the club is extremely lucky to have one of its members, Neil, offer a functional fitness session to all current members. The session involves a circuit of challenging exercises that serve as an excellent bit of cross-training for our runners.
Thursday evening – Club Run/Intervals
When: 18:45 – 20:15
Where:
New College Cycle Circuit (Winter)
Bradgate Park, Newtown Linford car park (Summer)
We meet as described for Monday club night. In the summer we take on the challenge of “Phil’s Hills”, a multi- week programme of hill repeats that takes you through the famous sights, wildlife and rolling terrain of Bradgate Park. So called because they have been famously led for years without fail by our very own Phil Chritchlow, who has cut his teeth in Bradgate on his way to his many accomplishments over the years.
In the winter we deliver a 30 odd week programme of interval sessions that focus on improving our technique, running economy and speed.
Everyone is welcome – sessions are inclusive and different – providing members with that all important variety in their training.
