Overview of the Sunday
run
One of the most
important training sessions in any runners’ diary has to be the long run.
Wootton Road Runners 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 across
Northampton and
very enjoyable, taking in bridleways, road, country fields and everything else
in between.
On the Sunday run 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. We meet at 8:45am for a prompt start
at 9:00am. The start location details are posted on this page weekly and as a
member, you will receive the information via our regular email
bulletins.
The
benefits:
- Many members
who are marathon training and are at the "big mileage" stage, attend the Sunday
run and added on miles before or after to suit their training
programmes.
- It is an
ideal way to overcome the loneliness 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.
- Sunday runs
are 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. Perfect way
to start off a Sunday …!
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 phone Terry Peters on
