Tuesdays

Derwent Runners meet at Derby Rugby Club every Tuesday night at 7pm for a 7.15pm start. The training session typically lasts about 50 minutes and ranges between 5 and 6.5 miles. During the summer we try and take the runs off road to enjoy the local parks and countryside. Our summer pub runs allow us to run further afield and enjoy sandwiches, chips and a pint at the end of the run.

Members usually split themselves up into training groups of similar abilities for the Tuesday session dependant on ability. New members will have a ‘buddy’ for the first couple of weeks to introduce you to others members, explain the other training sessions and also to make sure you don’t lose your way on route....especially with the dark evenings.

Sundays

In addition to the Tuesday a number of runners also meet on a Sunday morning starting at 9am, this run is usually longer; lasting about an hour and a half (approx 8-12 miles) and normally takes in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside.

Thursdays

We are currently trialling running on Thursdays. To vary our training, the Thursday night sessions will be based around speed, hill and stamina training making full use of the local Darley Fields and Allestree parks.
