Mark here, after a week away eating cake I’m back with some fresh new routes! (Maybe slightly borrowed from Kris!)

I’ve got a 10K and 10m route for you this week, both taking in sandal castle for a good photo op and the 10milers are also off to Newmillerdam as well

Fantastic improvers session tonight. It was fast, flat and fabulous!

We've forgotten how much we love and hate peel avenue reps, big efforts all round, well done gang.

We're back on Sunday at the earlier time of 8.30am for our 10k and 10 mile routes.

Happy Global Running Day 🤩

We just wanted to say a massive thanks to each and every one of our members who have made Fordy Runs Wakefield the huge success it has become.

Whether you come to all 3 runs a week, or drop in and out when life allows, we appreciate you all. It’s you that keeps us going and we couldn’t do it without you.

What a lovely social run for Wakefield tonight. We had a great mix of 5k and 7.5k runners and although no one wanted to do the naked run, we had the best time.

Added bonus was that because we had an out and back route nobody got lost either!

We're back tomorrow for our improvers session weather dependent it'll be Peel Avenue reps.

Hi everyone, Sam here. It's time to show you your mid week runs.

Tuesday social:
We've got an easy out and back this week. You have an option to make this a "naked" run, the idea is that you decide how long it will take you to do a 5 or 7.5k, and then run to feel. It's supposed to be a bit of fun, and lots of the Fordy satellites are doing it.

For instance, I might want to do 5k in 40mins, I'd not wear my watch and see if I could get as close to that 40 mins as possible.

Or you can just do the run as normal 🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyway, what ever you do, despite the name of the session please wear clothes haha.

Wednesday Improvers:
Weather dependant, if it's okay it'll be Peel Ave reps. If it's a super hot one it'll be Kris' surprise 🙈

Long Run Sunday time! Holly here, flying solo this week due to holidays, childcare… or apparently some weird race where cake is on offer!?

For those of you not affected by one of those blockers, I’ve got a 10K route for you this week. It’s the reverse of one we did a few weeks ago… someone suggested we should do it the other way round, so on their head be it 😅

📍 Thornes Park – Holmfield Arms entrance (lower car park)
🕤 9:30am
💷 Free to join – please book on via the app (booking link in comments)

As I’m the only run leader this week, there's no 10 mile option sorry.

Full route can be found in the WhatsApp community.

Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!

See you Sunday!

Wednesday improvers

Tonight was arena reps with a hill sprint

They where as bad as they sound but also really good fun!

Well done on the efforts tonight

We are back on Sunday for a 10k option only as a few of us are at the grim up north Cakeathon
