Sunday Morning Runs - 8am/8:30am
Every Sunday the club offers a number of longer runs to cater for members of all speeds and ability levels. Typically three groups depart Newham Leisure Centre each Sunday – each accompanied by an England Athletics certified leader. The runs take place on roads, parks and canal towpathways. Shorter runs will take place in Newham and the surrounding boroughs while longer runs will typically head west towards central London, or north / east towards Essex. All runs will start and finish at Newham Leisure Centre - a part from the Last Sunday of each month, which will start and finish at Stratford International.
In the Summer & Autumn months (typically around June-November), the runs will start at 8am. Please arrive to the start location 5/10 minutes early to allow the groups to depart on time.
In the Winter & Spring months (typically December-May), the runs will start at 8:30am. Please arrive to the start location 5/10 minutes early to allow the groups to depart on time.
Pace
We aim to offer our members a choice of four different paced groups each Sunday.
| Pace | Distance | |
|---|---|---|
| 9/9:30 per mile | 10 Miles | Equivalent to a 10k in 55-59 mins |
| 10/10:30 min per mile | 7 Miles | Equivalent to a 10k in 62-65 mins |
| Social Run (approx. 11 min per mile) | Approx. 5 miles | Equivalent to a 5k in over 30 mins |
Distance
As mentioned above, distances will vary based on the group that you run with. On the First Sunday of every month, the 10 mile, and 7 mile groups will drop their distance to 7 miles and 5 miles respectively. For those looking to get additional miles in after the club runs, more information on marathon training with EERR is here.
Please Note
Members, keep an eye out for communication on our internal social media channels for any changes to runs. If you're looking to join us for the first time on a Sunday, reach out on Instagram at @eerrclub or via email at info@eerr.org.uk for further information. Here is a selection of some of the club's Long Run routes. To ensure runners' safety and to maximise training benefits, we recommend that those attending Sunday morning runs can already manage at least 5 miles at roughly 11 minutes a mile pace. For those not yet at this level, we encourage you to first come along to some Tuesday night speedwork training. For the safety of all runners and to aid leaders whilst on the roads, we request that runners DO NOT wear headphones whilst on club runs.
