_______________________________________________

One of the most important training sessions in any runners diary has to be the long slow run and WRR have just the run for everyone.
Every Sunday morning we meet for a friendly, social get together and we throw in a multi-terrain run for good measure. The routes are varied and very enjoyable, taking in bridleways, road, country fields and everything else in between.
 
At Wootton Road Runners the emphasis is on running as a group, the pace is always controlled with faster runners regularly
re-turning to the pack and there are plenty of stops to re-group and keep everyone together. All you need to be confident of is your ability to run for a minimum of 90 minutes at a controlled pace, we seldom cover more than 10 miles, averaging about 9 minutes per mile.

Many members who are marathon training and are at the "big mileage" stage have used the Sunday run and added on miles
to suit their programmes. It is an ideal way to overcome the lonliness and drudgery of those long training runs.
No-one is allowed to fall behind or to feel they are holding up proceedings; that's simply not what our Sunday runs are about.

WRR Sunday Runs are about a group of like minded people enjoying a long, gentle run together as a group. No pressure, just good company. Whatever the weather may throw at us, we always end with a cup of tea, a slice of cake (or two) and a social chat for 10 minutes or so before heading off home.
 
We meet at 8:45am for a prompt start at 9:00am. The details are posted on this page weekly and as a WRR Member, you will receive the information via our regular email bulletins.
 
We hope these details might encourage you to try a Sunday Run, you'll be so glad you did and we'll be very pleased to see you - go on, give it a go! If you need any further information or would just like to chat a few things over, please telephone Terry on 07706 990841

See you soon.

Testimonial

Myself (Joy) & Tracy both turned the clock back and became Virgin Runners for the day (Sunday Run Virgins 28.09.2008).
 
We would like to say how nice it was to be able to go out on a long run with good company, scenery & a chat as we are both group 6 runners. We were a bit wary on going to start with, but having done it, with plenty of re-grouping and recoveries we found it a really good experience apart from a few mud patches, we would recommend it to all runners in lower groups & we will defiantly be doing it again ourselves.
