Or Tempo Run
Run a 20 minute tempo run along the Quayside (Newcastle side) after a short warmup together.
Starting at the Cycle Hub (NE6 1BU or see above map) run along the quayside towards the city for 10 minutes then turn around and run back towards the Cycle Hub for 10 minutes.
This is a tempo run so it should be ran at a comfortable pace.
Note: We will not be meeting at Cochrane Park for this session.
Please watch out for members of the public, cyclists and dogs on the Quayside especially around the Pitcher and Piano and between the Millenium Bridge and Tyne Bridge. The quayside can get busy sometimes and we do not have right of way.
