New car park Waterloo. Other one blocked.
Meeting at the old Gas Works Car Park, participants will be put into groups of 2, 3, or 4, with those doing a similar pace. The run will consist of 20 minutes heading out, and 20 minutes return along “hopefully” the same route, totalling 40 minutes of running. However, the group will set their own route, as they go along. Each person within each group will take turns to lead/dictate the route on the way out. E.g. if you are in a group of 3, each runner will lead for 6 minutes and 40 seconds, which totals the 20 minutes out. I will be interested to see where everyone goes, when looking at Strava afterwards.
Now for the real challenge, after the 20 minutes, you will need to retrace the route that you've created. You will again each lead for the same amount of time as on the out, and will stay in the same order. This means that the person who led first on the way out, will then lead for the first portion of the way back - so make sure you are paying attention to each turn you make and the things you pass on the section that you will need to retrace.
This session is just a bit of fun/a social run. Please stay together as a group, which means running at a comfortable pace for all members, not just yourself. Please stay safe, be aware of any road crossings/avoid these if possible. Do not go on any private land, or across any surfaces that are too difficult to run on - be sensible… have fun!
