Are you interested in running? If so Thame Runners would like to invite you to their summer runs across July and August.
Wednesday 4th July – Club Run
Our club runs take place in the local area on both road and trail surfaces, and are a great way to get to find new routes, chat to other runners and enjoy being part of a group. We split into different groups with shorter slower runs of around 4-5 miles at 10-12 minutes to mile pace, to 6-7 miles at 8 minutes per mile or faster. We aim to get everyone in a suitable group with a run leader and we ensure no-one gets left behind! There is no charge.
We meet at Racquets Fitness Centre and leave at 7pm for a warm-up jog to the track where we run distances from 200-800 metres with rests in-between, then jog back to Racquets.

Thursday 19th July – Tempo Run
Our Tempo (or Threshold) Runs are designed to complement your normal runs by building both speed and endurance at your race pace; great for anyone looking to improve their race times and achieve personal bests! There is no charge.
If you can already run 10k and want to get faster this is an excellent training session for you. We cater for runners who run a 10-12 minutes per mile, down to those who can run twice that fast!
We meet at Racquets Fitness Centre and leave at 7pm for a warm-up jog to the start close to LWS Lower School. There is a 2 mile distance or 3.5 mile option for faster runners, with the goal of running for 20-30 minutes at a consistent but faster pace.

Wed 8th August – Pub Run
Over the summer months Thame Runners hold weekly trail runs in the area, starting at a local pub and finishing there after about an hours run in the footpaths and bridleways; we have found it to be a great discovery of our local area. Many of us stay behind for short social drink afterwards, to which everyone is most welcome! There is no charge.
We split into different groups with shorter slower runs of around 4-5 miles at 10-12 minutes to mile pace, to 6-7 miles at 8 minutes per mile or faster. We aim to get everyone in a suitable group with a run leader and we ensure no-one gets lost or left behind!
This run starts and finishes at The Old Fisherman in Shabbington (HP18 9HJ).

Tuesday 21st August – Interval Runs
Interval Runs are short, faster paced runs on a 400m track focused on helping runners increase their running speed. The session is suitable for runners of all abilities provided you can run at least 5km, and open to anyone who is interested. There is no charge.
We meet at Racquets Fitness Centre and leave at 7pm for a warm-up jog to the track where we run distances from 200-800 metres with rests in-between, then jog back to Racquets.
