Well done to those who completed the Dentdale Run yesterday, and good luck to those heading to North Yorkshire this morning for the #Thirsk10. Good luck to all running or racing today, wherever your feet may take you... 💙❤️💙❤️

Regrettably tonight's session has been cancelled. The track is currently covered in snow, and the weather forecast for this afternoon indicates that more snow is on the way ❄️❄️❄️ Hopefully we'll be back up and running next Tuesday!

One Aycliffe runner took part in the Lightwater Valley 10k with the race on Sunday. Read more from Aycliffe Running Club here: aycliffetoday.co.uk/aycliffe-runni… @AycliffeRunning

We've had some of that lovely white stuff overnight, and the forecast is for more of the same this afternoon ❄️❄️❄️ We're going to check with Stadium 2000 as to the condition of the track and will make a decision about tonight's session then. Keep an eye out for updates 👍

Good luck to all our Members heading to Whitby for fish and chips today... Sorry, to participate in the final @NYSD2 XC fixture of the season. We're sure that the lure of fish and chips afterwards has no bearing on turnout! Ahem... 💙❤️💙❤️ #GettingDownAndDirty

The track is available for warm-up from 6.15pm in the outside lanes only, with a group warm-up at 6.30pm. The session will conclude with a cool down and some gentle static stretching. Please remember your £2 track fees.

Tonight's Track Session at Stadium 2000 is a combination of 400m, 300m and 200m Reps. The Main Session will be as follows: 4 x 400m w/200m jog rec. 6 x 300m w/100m jog rec. 8 x 200m w/200m jog rec. (C Group to only undertake 4 x 300ms and 6 x 200m).

If anyone wants to donate to the Food Bank collection, @Run_Dolly_Run be there after the session to collect in - long-life, durable goods are best.

Each loop should be ran at 10K pace, or a RPE of 8. We'll conclude with a run back to the Xcel Centre and some gentle static stretches. Team AK (@AKellett17 and @AlanKellett) will be leading the session this evening.

Tonight's session is the Tetley Mile-ish Loops (approximately 1400m). Meeting at the Xcel Centre for a 7pm start (though you'll need to park on Grindon Way). Options are four loops, three loops or two loops, with a 2:00 recovery between loops.

@LordSmythe @durhamparkrun @parkrunUK Great to see you too, M'Lud. Thanks for taking on the First Timers Briefing! 💙❤️💙❤️

@AycliffeRunning @durhamparkrun @parkrunUK Great to see the blue & reds at Maiden Castle this morning hope you enjoyed the run and of course the coffee & cakes?

The hoards from Aycliffe Running Club will be descending on @durhamparkrun this morning as we take on the second of this year's monthly organised Club @parkrunUK tourisms. Have a great time! Don't forget coffee and cake afterwards! ☕️🍰... #loveparkrun 🌳 💙❤️💙❤️

We have a few Members heading to Pocklington for the @Pock_Runners #SnakeLane10 today. Good luck to all those running there, or anywhere else today... 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍 (For those Members who've headed to London for some kick about in the capital, enjoy your day! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤)

Recoveries must be taken in the outer lanes. The session will conclude with a warm down and some gentle static stretching. Please don't forget your £2 Track Fees, or £3 for non-members.

At 6.30pm we will begin with a warm-up, followed by the Main Session itself. Options will be 10, 8 or 6 x 500m reps, with 100m jog back recoveries. Aiming to run at 5K pace, or a RPE 8/9. Efforts should be in single file in Lane One, allowing overtaking in Lanes Two and Three.

Tonight's Track Session is 500m reps, with 100m jog back recoveries. Members can warm up from 6.15pm onwards in the outer lanes of the track. Please do remain respectful of the Junior Section who will still be undertaking their session until 6.30pm.

Team AK (@AKellett17 and @AlanKellett) are leading the session for you this evening. Please don't forget your reflective bibs tonight... #BeSeenBeSafe #BeSafeBeSeen

Perhaps think of it as RPE (Rate of Perceived Effort) as 8/10. Recovery will be the jog back down Eastfields Road to the start point. We will conclude with a run back to the Oakleaf Sports Complex to cooldown, followed by some static stretches.

Tonight's session is the 'Missing Phone Box Loops'. We meet @OakleafSports at 7pm, and we will warm-up with a run to the session start point. Options tonight are 5, 4 or 3 'loops', which should be undertaken at your 10K effort (not necessarily 10K pace as this is a hilly loop).
