De La Bere Crescent, Burbage (behind the library). Paired ‘meet and greet’ session around the Crescent.
Partners will run hard up opposite sides of the Crescent until they meet, then recovery jog back down to the bottom the way you ran up; after 12-13 minutes, partners will swap sides and continue in the same way. Total session 25 mins continuous (with optional additional recovery before starting each loop again).

Please note, it is just under 2 miles from HLC to the session (warm up route is shown below which we will lead). We will need to leave promptly at 6:30 in order to start the session by 6:50pm.

For those who are going straight to the session, we would suggest that you arrive at 6:45pm and jog around the loop as your warm up – there is road parking on De La Bere Cresent and also on Lychgate Lane by the library.
Remember to dress to be seen!

Thursday Routes – 30 Jan

Route W09
Our route takes us to Barwell, loops around the village and takes us back along the same way (with an optional loop past Green Towers at the end). The full route is 9 miles and can be reduced to 8 miles by omitting the Green Towers loop. If you require a shorter route, turn back at ‘Top Town’ in Barwell (the roundabout by the Blacksmith’s Arms) and return along the same route to give you around 6 miles.

Remember to dress to be seen and be ready for a prompt 6:30pm departure from the Leisure Centre. See you there 🙂
