| CLUB NIGHT: | Thursday | Club Night starts at about 7.00 p.m. at the Castle School,
but the run starts from 7.15 p.m.
All runs feature re-groups, varying according to the needs of each group.
In the summer months many of the runs are off-road where we enjoy the countryside and the varied surface conditions. The runs are usually from 7 to 10 miles, but there are always shorter alternative routes. In the winter we remain mostly within Thornbury and Alveston for safety reasons, with runs from 5 - 8 miles. For the less experienced (or less fit!), there is a "slower" group which typically runs 4 - 5 miles. We also have a beginners' group for those who are not yet ready to run 4 miles (but who ideally intend to progress at least to the "slower" group). Changing, showers and refreshments are available. We occupy a room at the right-hand end of the school with its own entrance facing the car park and Park Road. Attendance: 30 - 40 members. |
| LONG RUN: | Sunday | The long run starts at about 8.30 a.m., meeting at the
small car-park nearly opposite the Castle School.
This is often off-road at all times of the year, but depending on conditions on the particular day. The distance varies from 10 to 16 miles (typically), but some members go farther especially when training for an event; conversely, there are turning off points for the less ambitious. All runs feature re-groups as required for those present. At present there are no changing facilities. Attendance: 1 - 15 members. |
| TRAINING: | Tuesday | Training starts at 6.45 p.m. meeting outside the Castle School,
and usually involves a wide variety of activities such as intervals, pyramids, uphill efforts,
etc, etc for about 50 minutes including the warm-up and warm-down. Another group often goes
for a steady run of 5 - 6 miles. At present there are no changing facilities.
Attendance: 6 - 15 members. |
| CYCLING: | Monday & Wednesday | Cycling is a "quick" session, typically 10 miles, for Club members on Mondays (see
Pete Mainstone, Trevor Roberts, Mark Williams or Jacqueline Wadsworth for details), and in conjunction with Severn RC on
Wednesdays (see Trevor Roberts). Start 6.45 pm Mondays. Attendance: 6 - 12 members. |
| SWIMMING: | Tuesday & Saturday | Swimming is an intensive session from 8.00 pm - 9.00 pm Tuesday (including coaching -
£3.15) and 5.00 pm - 6.00 pm Saturday (see Arthur Renshaw, Pete Mainstone). Attendance: 6 - 12 members. |
