training details

MAIN TRAINING TIMES

Our main base & meeting place is at the British Legion in Wigston. There is a variety of abilities and both male & female runners, young and old! The times and days below are a guide. New runners when they first come along have the option to be paired up with a running buddy of equal ability in the first few weeks.

SUMMER

In the Summer we are lucky to be based so close to the countryside and we have loads of excellent routes either along the canal, or through the fields following public footpaths and trails which takes us through local villages.

WINTER

In the Winter months we are restricted to running on the pavements and we go out on routes around Wigston, Oadby, Blaby, Aylestone, Knighton Stoneygate and Evington. The routes vary each week and there is usually a short & long option to follow.

TUESDAY NIGHTS - main night

We meet at the British Legion at 6.50pm for a 7.00pm start.
There is a bar in the Legion to help quench your thirst afterwards!

THURSDAY NIGHTS - optional

We meet at the University running track at Manor Road, Oadby
6.50pm for a 7.00pm start.
In the Summer months we do various speed sessions on the track. In the Winter months we meet up outside the track and go out in the near area and do hill sessions.

SUNDAY MORNINGS - optional

Twice a month we meet at Bradgate Country Park just outside Anstey and explore the wonderful park and all the terrain it has on offer.
