Round Sheffield Run Stages 11, 1 and 2
17 GoodGymers made their way 11.7km on a training session in Sheffield.
- Thursday, 7th of June 2018
- Led by Stephen Gilmer
The change in starting venue didn't stop a record 18 people turning out for the third of our RSR Recces
The plan this week was to cover sections 1 and 2, but given the easiest place to meet we threw in the final section, number 11, the sprint finish!
Stage 11 : 0.4km Endcliffe Park Finish A final flourish, starting at the park entrance up onto the park itself where you will join the marked course for the dash for the finish outside Endcliffe park cafe. You will be greeted by fellow competitors, adulation from the crowd and if you wish a cold beer!
Stage 1 : 2.9km Endcliffe Park to Forge Dam A pleasant gradual ascent leaving Endcliffe Park, up through Bingham Park and Whiteley woods, a stage to take nice and steady through the paved and dirt tracks up to Forge Dam.
Liason between 1-2 A short walk / jog up past the Cafe to the start of the next stage
Stage 2 : 2.5km Porter Valley Ascent Up from the Forge Dam Cafe this stage leads us up the porter valley and away from town towards the Peak. The gradual ascent becomes slightly more agressive half way up. This is possibly the toughest part of the course, a good one to get under the belt early on.
Great effort from everyone, the concensus was that running down stages 1 and 2 was a lot more enjoyable!
