Thursday Night Training

A number of us started the Thursday night run about fifteen years ago for extra marathon training and kept it all going until a few years ago. About 6 or 7 have started getting out again.
We all run the same route every week (we change it in the summer) with the idea everyone finishes together at Churchil by about 8.00 pm.To achieve this we start at staggered times - some start at 6.50 pm some earlier and others after seven. Most start at seven. It is not a pack run - every man and woman for themselves! - although most people pass or get overtaken on the way round and usually have time for a chat. The good thing is being a set route you just turn up and go at your own pace with no excuses.
The route is - Churchill - Greenfield Station- left - Road to Mossley turn left at traffic lights down hill to station. Cross road down lane directly opposite to bridge then up passed the laundry on the right to main road. Right to Royal George - left at Clarence and along to Wellington Rd/ Churchil. - About 7 miles.
