You need JavaScript enabled to view it Long Eaton Running Club caters for all ages and abilities, from the 12 minute miler to the 12 miles an hour athlete. Club nights are Tuesdays and Thursdays, meeting at 6.30p.m. for a warm up session. Usually there are different ability groups for you to join but if you are a new starter there will initially be a LERC member to look after you. And they might even buy you a drink in the bar afterwards. Both the warm-up and run activity varies from week to week (the activity/sessions are displayed on the LERC noticeboard located near the Main Hall, and on the web site forum pages).
We start with an optional 25 minutes warm-up of stretching and exercises, followed by a run at 7.00p.m. On Tuesdays this may be steady, fast, fartlek, interval or hill work according to the schedule or your preference, and on Thursdays there is usually a longer route ideal for a tempo run. Members also meet on weekends for a longer, steady run. Mileage varies from 10 Miles, with cut off points. Weekend runs are usually arranged on the club nights by the members running.
We are affiliated to UKA through the Midland Counties Athletic Association and to the Association of GB Athletic Clubs (ABAC) and presently compete in the North Midlands and East Midlands Cross-Country Leagues during the winter. All year round, members participate in a variety of different distances and types of running, including fell-running, cross country and road running, and we are affiliated to the Notts AAA Road Race League. We have flourishing Ladies, Seniors and Veterans sections of the Club. Throughout the year we also enjoy lively social events.
