This colourful bunch came out in force to get their Sunday miles in.
Well done everyone, it was a scorcher today, we should have plotted more shade!
We welcomed Amy and Tracey for their first run with us, we hope you enjoyed it and you'll be back again soon.

We're back on Tuesday for our social 5k and 7.5k run

Hello everyone, Sam here. Apologies for the late post but here are your routes for our Sunday morning long run.

We're heading off on an adventure, a bit of road a bit of trail, a bit of shade for us gingers 😆.

Meeting at 8.30am, Holmfield Arms car park.

Wednesday improvers

Tonight was Peel Avenue Reps, a hard session in the warmth but some great effort put in which ended up with the ice pop man delivering the goods

We are back on Sunday with our 10k and 10mile routes!

What a melty night for a run. Tonight we took a jaunt down Barnsley road and back up Doncaster road before enjoying a trip through the Hepworth garden.

Well done everyone, brilliant efforts in the muggy heat. Make sure you hydrate now!

We're back tomorrow for Peel Avenue reps, it's a 2.7k warm up followed by either 500m or 1k sprints with a 60 second rest and then a 2.7k cool down back to base. Bring hydration, it's going to be a warm one.

Hello 👋🏻 Andrew here with this week’s Fordy schedule

Tuesday:
As lots of folk enjoyed hilly runs this weekend, we’re keeping it fairly flat with 5k and 7.5k routes around Belle Isle

Wednesday:
Improvers session this week is speed, so it’s a trip down to Peel Avenue for some 500m and 1k rapid reps

Sunday:
I can’t plan that far ahead, there’ll be a 10k and a 10 mile option. We’ll get back to you on Friday with the details!

Usual process for the runs. Please come and check in with a run leader when you get there. All paces are welcome. No one gets left behind.

Long Run Sunday

37 of us got together for 10k and 10mile runs, the back of the pack party was held on the 10mile run, road testing sweets- Percy pigs this week; the general consensus was the mixed bag which included the cola ones

It was a hard run and some big hills but no one moaned much.

We also welcomed Daisy who came to visit us from Hong Kong

We are back on Tuesday for our social runs

Hey, Mark and we are back for our long Sunday runs. We are revisiting a 10k and 10m from a few weeks ago which went to lupset and Ossett with the 10miler going out to Kirkhamgate and a spicy hill!
Our quicker run leaders are both away, so Sam and I will be at the back of the 10miler trying to find our target marathon pace of 7.20k ish with Holly and Andrew looking after the 10k
Please have a look at the routes beforehand but the 10miler is one of my favourites as it has a bit of all sorts and some great views too

For those joining us , it’s the usual arrangements:
📍Meeting Point: Thornes Park, Holmfield Arms Entrance, Lower Car Park

We took on a hot and horrible pyramid hill session tonight. We had a gentle warm up jog followed by 15 minutes of hard work, five minutes of us wondering why we do this to ourselves and then we went again for another 15 minutes of gut busting running. Well done everyone, superb efforts all round.

We're back on Sunday with our 10k and 10 mile runs. Routes to be published on Friday.
