| Question |
How long do you run for? |
|
Answer |
All runs last for approximately 1hr 20mins. |
| Question |
Do you cater for all standards of fitness? |
| Answer |
Yes. On Tuesdays & Thursdays there are usually 3 groups, each with a different running pace. Sunday runs at 9.30 consist of one group at a gentle pace. Unfortunately we do not have a complete beginners group so it would be advisable to do a few runs before trying us out.
There will be also a speed session on Thursdays at Millhouses run by Jan Hutton for those interested. |
| Question |
What if I can't manage the full 1hr 20mins |
| Answer |
No problem. The group can divert to drop you off a little earlier and then carry on. You need to let
someone know this beforehand so the route can be planned. |
| Question |
Will I get left behind? |
| Answer |
No, members will always stop and run back at frequent intervals. |
| Question |
What type of terrain do you run on? |
| Answer |
During the Winter we run on the road and then mainly on the hills during the Summer, taking in the fantastic views. Sunday morning runs
are always off road in the Peaks.
There is also usually a speed/hill session on a Thursday.

| Question |
Do I have to join straight away, and how much does it cost? |
| Answer |
You do not have to join immediately you start running with Totley. Obviously you need to try us out for a couple of training sessions and see how you get on. However, if you like running with Totley and wish to continue, then you must join the club. The cost is £10.00 per year and family membership is £15.00.. The membership offers a quarterly club magazine, discount at keep on running, subsidised social events etc. Please download a
membership form from here if you are interested.

| Question |
Are there shower facilities available? |
| Answer |
There were showers available, on Club nights, in the club hut. Unfortunately we now need a new club hut and are busy fundraising and getting permission and funding for a new hut to be built. Unfortunately, the showers may not return until this new hut has been finished. |
| Question |
Do I have to wear any special clothing? |
| Answer |
Bring a dry top to change in to after the run and it is also a good idea to carry a windproof top in case it turns cold or you get injured. During the winter months, all runners must wear a reflective top |
| Question |
Do you socialise afterwards? |
| Answer |
Yes, as follows:
Summer: The Cricket
Winter
Tuesday: Hammer & Pincers
Thursday: Waggon and Horses (park alongside Millhouses Park)
