TRAINING VENUES Beaumont Running Club meets to run on Mondays and Thursdays at 7pm. From September to April During autumn, winter and spring we meet on Mondays and Thursdays at 7pm at the New Parks Leisure Centre, just off the A563 (Leicester's outer ring road). Directions: from the junction of Groby Road (A50) and A563 ring road go south on ring road (New Parks Way) for half a mile. Turn left at second traffic lights onto Aikman Avenue. After 150 yards turn right onto St Oswalds Road. New Parks Leisure Centre is signposted to right after 300 yards. Map The Leisure Centre has showers. Club members meet in the bar after runs - especially on the first Thursday of the month. Club runs from the Leisure Centre are on pavements around Glenfield and the city. During the darker months these routes are streetlit - and members are never left to run alone. On Monday and Thursday evenings we offer general training runs from the Leisure Centre - almost always in more than one group so that you are likely to be running with others of similar ability. On Thursdays one group concentrates on speed training (usually interval sessions). Summer - from Thursday 16th April 2009 to September 2009 During the summer we meet in the Newtown Linford car park to Bradgate Park (still on Mondays and Thursdays at 7pm - but 6:30pm in September). Map. Runs are typically cross-country through the Park and Swithland Woods - in groups of different abilities. One group concentrates on interval/hill training once a week. Car parking is charged, but free parking is available on the road outside. Apres-run (optional) will happen at the nearby Bradgate pub (which has a garden) on the first Thursday of the month
