Saturday 25th October - speed and hill session

The start

10 D Group runners met on a cool October morning. After a good warm up (thanks Mel) with some very good 'fast feet' from Harry we set off for a 'jog' along the Middlewood Way. We did a speed pyramid (30, 60, 90, 60 seconds) and then we all did a 'timed mile' (with some very good times posted). We then had a steady run to 'that hill' where we did a pyramid (30, 60, 30) followed by a 'full ascent'. We then ran back via Kerridge and Tinkers Clough. In total we did just over 5 miles (including 'jog recoveries').

Some excellent running today - well done!
