About The Session

This is a hill session on Jesmond Vale Lane in between Heaton Park and Armstrong Park. See above map.

Form into your usual paced groups at the bottom of the hill and run hard to the 2nd lamppost up the hill. Run a slow recovery down to the bottom of the hill where you started. Then run hard to the 4th lamppost up the hill and a slow recovery back to the bottom. Repeat this pattern (2/4/6/8 lampposts etc) until you reach the top of the hill where Heaton Road starts. If you reach the top start back at lamppost 2 and repeat. The distance from bottom to top is around 400m in length. This is a 30 minute session.

Please stick to the left hand side of the road to allow other groups to pass easily on their recovery and efforts and try to avoid blocking the entrance to the road when you re-group at the top.

Note: This road is usually quiet but there can be the occasional car from the car park and cyclist or pedestrian using the route so please be wary. The route can also be dark so a head torch is advisable. Watch out for the wooden barrier half way down the down the hill.
