Tuesday Run
What : Paced groups (11:15, 10:15, 9:15, 8:15 and 7:15 min miles) led by UKA qualified Running Leaders, usually with a tail leader at the rear of each group. Our stops allow you to change up or down groups. These non-competitive sessions are great for running at different paces depending on how you feel, and for getting to know club members. The slowest group covers around 4 miles, the faster groups cover pup to 7.5 miles.
Where: Borderville Sports Centre, Ryhall Road, Stamford (occasionally Cattle Market, on the south side of Stamford Meadows - check on the day under the 'Running with Striders' menu). In winter we run round Stamford, when the light allows we head out into the countryside.
When: Tuesdays 7pm
Wednesday Run
Wednesday sessions start with a short warm-up at 6:30pm on the playing field near the Empingham Road car park (100m towards town from the Danish Invader)
The session consists of one or two 5k loops. You can choose to run one or both. You should be able to run consistently for 30 minutes. Paces faster than approximately 14 minute miles (so faster than average walking pace) can be accommodated by adapting the route.
The first Wednesday of every month offers something a little different, still running but a session designed to improve your technique, skills and/or endurance.
Wednesday runs are a natural progression from our Beginners’ Course which takes place in May every year. This coach-led programme aims to have you running consistently for 30 minutes.
Then, in September, we incorporate the 30min to 60min course (approx. 5k-10k) in our Wednesday run. Runners can join us at the start if they want and head off for 5k but the focus will be building up to 60 minutes of running.
Thursday Coached Session
What: Structured and progressive timed-based interval and tempo sessions (and occasional hill sessions) on grass in the summer and paths in winter. These are great for building up strength and speed work.
To find out more, email info@stamfordstriders.org or speak to a running leader/coach at a Tuesday or Wednesday session.
Where: Varies
When: Thursdays
Sunday Run
What: These are not an official Stamford Striders club run. They are open to non-members, there is no official leader or coach, and everyone runs at their own risk. It's just for fun.
They tend to be between 6 and 15 miles. Faster runners are encouraged to turn and run to the back of the group every so often, so that the group doesn't get straggly.
To find out more, email info@stamfordstriders.org or speak to a running leader/coach at a Tuesday or Wednesday session.
Where: The starting point varies, but it's often Bath Row, Stamford
When: Usually Sunday, usually 9am
