About The Session

Meet outside Blue Flames on the public footpath, NE12 9SF 19:15 to organise into groups.
Actual session starts at the junction to Station Road and Whitley Road but we will be doing a rolling start in groups from Blue Flames to avoid congregating on narrow footpaths.

Form groups of between 6 and 10 based on ability. After a gentle run from Blue Flames in your groups start the session at the bus stop on Station Road in Benton (after the metro and underpass – see map above for starting point) Run in an ordered group at a brisk but not too fast pace around the Killy Pursuits course (4.5 miles) with the back marker sprinting to the front one at a time, then indicating by raising arm that they have finished their ‘effort’ the next back marker does the same. Continue this until reaching four lane ends finish (see map above for route). The key to this session is getting in the right group and running at the right pace between efforts. Get this criteria right and you get a quality session, get it wrong and you’ve been out for a steady run. The finish is the Four Lane Ends Metro/junction with Benton Road and Front Street.
