dropped.

Nunny Striders is a casual running group from Nunsthorpe. We meet when someone posts a run, we shuffle, and we wait at the corners. Fast is optional. Coming back is the point.

01 · Paces

Three groups. One start.

You pick a group when you join, and you can change your mind on the night. The route idea is the same. The short loop peels off. Nobody finishes alone on their first outing.

Wanderers

Walk, jog, walk.

New, coming back, or just not in a hurry. No watch needed. Walking is part of the session, not a failure of it.

Steady

Easy enough to talk.

Conversational pace. If you are gasping, this is the wrong effort for tonight.

Striders

A bit quicker.

Still a social run. You wait at the corners like everyone else. Efforts are here if the run that day includes them.

02 · A run

How a run works.

Someone posts a time and a place. You turn up a few minutes early. Centre4 on Wootton Road is an easy landmark if that is the place you agree. The centre does not run the group.

  1. Say hello. Say if you need to be home by a certain time.
  2. We split by pace, not by ego. Wanderers can take the short loop.
  3. If you cannot see the person behind you, you have gone too soon. Corners are waits.
  4. Back at the start. That is a run. Tea is invited, never compulsory.

Places to start from

Landmark

Pavement outside Centre4, 17A Wootton Road. Easy to find, and the road is lit.

Woods

Bradley Woods car park, off Bradley Road. Mud after rain. Shorter turnarounds are normal.

Someone else's event

Cleethorpes parkrun is free and down the road. Parkrun runs it. Post on the forum if you want company.

Route ideas

03 · New to it

You do not need to run 5 km today.

Show up in anything you can move in. Wanderers do a bit of easy running and a bit of walking, and we decide the minutes on the night. Old trainers are fine.
