Monday Night Runs for Spring and Summer
29 Apr 2007 22:18
 

For this series of routes we have added 3 development paths you may wish to take depending upon your circumstance. Each path pulls together the different options in distance available on each route. So for example with Path B you can build from 4 upto 6 miles while still running the same main route as everyone else. Path A is for Recovering or managing a low mileage while Path C brings a progression from 5 to 7 miles.

Also added is a repeated (Selly Oak - Northfield - Cotterdige) route that can used as a periodic tempo run to check your fitness. (Always have a warm up jog to Block Busters opposite Sainsburys before starting your tempo session).

If anyone has other routes they'd like to suggest, please have a play on Gmap Pedometer, and email me the link.

As before, when running on Mondays please ensure no one is running alone and always be aware of the person in front of you or behind you.  It would be helpful if everyone familiarised themselves with the route before each Monday evening.  DO NOT ASSUME SOMEONE ELSE WILL KNOW IT!

REMEMBER TO WEAR HIGH VISIBILITY CLOTHING FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY

All the route maps can be viewed here as pdfs or jpegs, or click the route name in the table below to open the pdf for the route.
