Thursday night club training – Meeting at 7pm Kingsmeadows Carpark, Peebles. Starting Thursday 4th October

Club Training Sessions are commencing on Thursday nights starting Thursday 4th October, in addition to Tuesday nights.

The key info is:
Runners meet at 7pm Kingsmeadows Carpark in Peebles on Thursday nights.

Runs will cater for runners who can a run for 60 mins. The format of the run will be flexible and set by that week’s run leader but will typically be a continuous run with regroups if necessary (as opposed to the structured timed intervals that the Tuesday night sessions take).

The details of that week’s run type will be circulated in advance in a weekly email to membership and facebook post and will include the minimum information so that runners know how long they will be out and what shoes and terrain encountered, although more often than not the run will be taking advantage of the fab trails in the Tweed Valley.

The rota of run leaders is:
1st Thursday                                  Amy Alcorn
2nd Thursday                                 Alan Elder alternating with Paul Nichol
3rd Thursday                                  Lucy Colquhoun alternating with Kenny Davidson
4th Thursday                                  Andrew Dancer
5th Thursday (when it happens)    Dave Gaffney


The rota for the whole of 2018/19 is can be viewed here:

Occasionally a run may be proposed where the runners hop in the cars and drive to a different location for variety, but the meeting time and place will be 7pm at Kingsmeadows car park as normal.
