Tuesday Night Running Etiquette

The Do’s & Don’ts

 

• Have a purpose for your training session (Recovery/Tempo Run) It will dictate your speed group.
• Ensure you use the first mile to warm up as most of us go straight into the run without warm up/drills.
• Run as a group. Turn back when necessary and fall in behind the back marker. It’s important to keep moving, not get ahead and stop on the corner till others catch up.
• Do not drop down from your usual speed group and then push the pace. Allow the regular runners of the group to lead the way.
• If dropping down in speed consider offering to lead a group who may want an intermediate step between the minute and half minute pace. i.e. 7:45, 8:15, 8:45
• Until daylight hours allow, Hi-Vis is required (that means reflective not just yellow)
• Check the web site for the route and make the Chairman’s job easier by offering to lead a group. Don’t always leave it to the same people.
• Consider slowing the tempo down for the last half mile of the run so you finish comfortably, it is not a race.
• Last but not least, enjoy yourself.
