Saturday 26th November

Nina, Joanne & Bev attended.

We ran from the Bollin Valley (Riverside Car Park) after a warm up.. We went onto the Middlewood Way and did 'pyramid' speed work (Nina & Joanne did 5, Bev did 3 plus several extras). There was some impressive speed today.

After the speedwork we continued up the Middlewood Way to the Silk Road Bridge, cut across the field and then back via Tyherington shops/Manchester Road.

It was a good workout - well done!

Today we met at the car park near the Vale Inn (Bollington) to do a 'recce' of the CAFOD route - this is the 4.5 mile 'race' that we will attempt on December the 27th 2011.

This week Scott, Joanne, Sarah & Nina came along.

The route started on the viaduct near to the Bollington Arts Centre, down the Middlewood Way to Tinker's Clough, back up the canal to Bridge 21 (Adlington) and back to the starting point via the Middlewood Way. We had a couple of 'breather stops' but the actual running time was ~47 minutes.

We all adjourned to the Waterside Cafe afterwards for various combinations of coffee, breakfast and chocolate.
