Summer training is at Darley Park each Wednesday from 6:30pm – 7:30pm. Meet by the big tree near the playground. There is a car park near Little Darleys pub, and we’ll head into the pub afterwards for a post training drink and chat.

The sessions are listed below and may be subject to change. Each session will have a warm-up, main element, and cool down .

Warm-up

• Approx 1km loop of the park
• A dynamic stretching session led by one of the coaches or run leaders

Each week, generally on the Sunday or Monday, we’ll add a bit more detail to the upcoming session. As ever, this is just an overview and subject to final planning and thus subject to change.
