Training on Tuesday Evenings

PLEASE NOTE MEMBERS NEED TO SIGN UP IN ADVANCE TO RUNS USING THE GOOGLE SHEET SENT OUT WEEKLY 

We meet every Tuesday at 7:00pm for a 7:15pm run according to the following schedule.  

1. We typically do a road run with led routes of 50 mins plus a warm up and stretch/cool down, to be back at the club for 8.15pm.  We aim to have groups at paces to run approx  6, 7 , 8, 9 and 10km in the 50mins. These groups are therefore called 650, 750 etc. so for 750, the run leader will aim for the run to be approx 7km in 50 minutes (which is approx 7 min per km pace).  You should join the group you think you can keep pace with - you can always move up or down groups the following week if you find the group too fast or slow! Routes are each led by one of our Run Leaders, who have all taken the English Athletics' Leader in Running Fitness course.  Occasionally, for a few weeks at a time, we will also have a Transition Group, which will typically run 5 to 5.5km in 50 minutes, aimed at recent "graduates" from our 0-5k courses, and also for people returning to running from illness/injury. 
   We meet outside on the pavement near The Parklangley Club (44a Wickham Way, Beckenham, BR3 3AF - see here for map) The various groups meet at slightly different points to avoid blocking the pavements to pedestrians - see the run schedule fo details of where each group meets.  The exceptions to this are... 
2. On the First Tuesday of every month, in Summer (April-September), we run a handicap starting and finishing in Norman Park . The handicap competition is a Members Only event. 
3. On the Second Tuesday of the month we have Move Up Tuesday where we aim to increase all the run distances by 0.5k to give members an opportunity to challenge themselves, to see if they can run just that little bit further in the same time (50mins). Run Leaders will support all members in their group and noone will be left behind! This is aimed to give members confidence to move up to a faster group in the following weeks.
4. During the lighter nights, from end April to mid August, we run a cross country route from various locations, such as the Bromley Veterans bench on Hayes Common (far right-hand corner of the  field in Warren Road, which is at the top of Station Hill, Hayes), Beckenham Place Park, Sparrows Den - check the run schedule for location and paces of the various groups going out and sign up in advance  Cross country in 2022 runs from April 25th 

Hayes Cross-country meeting point: at the top of Station Approach in Hayes, at the roundabout take first left and then first right into Station Hill, then park in Warren Road - the bench is at the far end of the field in front of you.
