🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ ROUTES FOR TONIGHT🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

📍 Meet: Bottom of Tesco Ilkeston Car Park
🕡 Main Start: 6:30pm
🏃 Bonus Mile: 6:15pm for anyone wanting to get an extra mile in before the main groups set off!

Before we get to the routes, a little bit of admin…

We’ve had a few questions about group paces over the last few weeks, so we’d like to give everyone a bit of guidance to help choose the group that’s right for them.

🔹 3 Mile Group
Our original and main group. We generally jog at a relaxed, social pace with occasional walking breaks for anyone who needs them. This group is suitable for anyone looking for a casual, friendly 3-mile run.

🔹 4 Mile Group
This group was created for those who want to go a little further, potentially with fewer walking breaks, but not necessarily at a faster pace. As a rough guide, if you’re comfortable running quicker than around 10:30 per mile (6:30/km), you may find the 4+ group more suitable.

🔹 4+ Mile Group
Our most energetic group, with fewer and shorter stops. The pace will always be dictated by those attending, but our usual jogging-group mantra of “nobody gets left behind” still applies. We’re a jogging group rather than a running club, so this group shouldn’t generally be pushing much quicker than a 10-minute mile pace.
