Run Leeds @ Alwoodley

 

Six “Run England” groups were started by running clubs in Leeds in March 2011 and branded “Run Leeds”.

 

“Run in Leeds @ Alwoodley” is hosted by Valley Striders at Leodiensian Club, Crag Lane, off King Lane, LS17 5PR, on Tuesday evenings from 6pm to 7pm.

 

The group caters for beginners (minimum requirement is to be capable of walking for an hour) and improvers (social runners and those who have occasionally run 5k or 10k races). 

 

NB Those who have run faster than 25 minutes for 5k or faster than 55 minutes for 10k are recommended to join the Valley Striders club sessions (but still make contact using the email address below)

 

Group Leaders have all been on an England Athletics “Leadership in Running and Fitness” Course. 

 

We have at least 3 group leaders at every session, therefore can split into smaller groups at times as appropriate.

 

Season One – 28 March to 21 June 2011

 

·        First session free

·        Then 11 weekly sessions leading up to the Jane Tomlinson Run for All 10k on Sunday 19 June.

·        The 12th week (14 June) a short training session and tips for preparation for the race and race day

·        The 13th week (28 June) a short training session, then a meal at the club to discuss the race and our future training plans.

·        NB You need not be running the Jane Tomlinson Race to join the group, but our sessions will be tailored with that in mind.

 

Season Two – 5 July to 4 October 2011

 

·        First session free

·        Then 12 weekly sessions leading up to the Harewood 5 mile on Sunday 2 October.

·        The 13th week (27 September) a short training session and tips for preparation for the race and race day

·        The 14th week (4 October) a short training session, then a meal at the club to discuss the race and our future training plans.

·        NB other races are available during September, October and November; we will give brief advice for these

 

Sessions cost £1.50 per night or £10 for a full series of sessions.  These charges pay for hire of the facilities (changing, showers etc), and include a small contribution to club funds.  Your first session is free of charge!

 

Note that Run in Leeds @ Alwoodley group is at a different time from Valley Striders club sessions. There is absolutely no requirement (and no pressure) to join Valley Striders.

 

Please register your interest before coming to your first session.
