As in previous years from Sunday 8th January 2017 I'll (Tim Lloydlangston) be running a marathon training group again. Basic idea is a series of 10 cross country runs building up from 10 miles and adding a mile each week until we reach 20 miles by the end of March. The pace is steady and there's always short cuts home.
We meet at 8.30am on Sunday mornings at Mary Stevens Park - main car park. An outline of the routes is below (one week off for Stagger marshalling):

Sunday morning runs from meet at 8.30am from Mary Stevens Park Stourbridge every Sunday morning starting at 8.30am, from the top gate. We run at a steady pace at 10 / 11 minute miles on average most of the run in the countryside.
In the run up to the spring marathon training schedule which we normally start in the New Year (January) we have an 8 - 10 mile run scheduled each week
Other groups do go out on a Sunday morning so if you want a little company or a change to refresh the enthusiasm please ask at the club.
Enjoy your running
