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):
