#DerbyRunnerRunClub

The Derby Runner Run Club is a running group suitable for runners of all abilities based at The Derby Runner store in Spondon.

With expert knowledge from local coaches, we will bring you structured sessions once a week that will give you the opportunity to improve all aspects of your running, from running form to speed and tackling hills.

The sessions are held every Monday and start at 7pm. Please arrive before this so we can start on time.

The sessions are FREE of charge.

Join the Facebook group here.

*Please respect our neighbours when parking your car and ensure you don’t obstruct anyone’s driveway. *

Session Plan for Most Mondays:

Warm up (length around 1.5 miles max)

The session:

The main session itself will always be made up of short periods of faster running (between 30s – 3 mins) with rest periods in between of similar lengths.

The goal of each session will be explained at the shop, before the warmup commences.

Cool down (length = back to the shop!)
