It\u0027s our longest running, best attended session, and most weeks well over 100 members turn up at Didsbury Sports Ground to run together.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe split into groups by pace, so whatever speed you\u0027re feeling on the night, there\u0027s a group for you. Groups run from 8 min/mile up to 12 min/mile, in steps of 30 seconds per mile, so you can find one that matches your pace rather than rounding up or down. Routes are roughly 5k or 10k depending on the group. Each group has its own run leader, and our larger groups often have a tail runner too, so nobody gets left behind.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGroup choice is entirely your call each week. If you\u0027re feeling stronger, push up. If you\u0027re a bit tired, drop back. Nothing\u0027s fixed and no one minds.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022dr-callout\u0022\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to Didsbury Runners?
