Routes
Depending on pace group, the distance you will run on a paced session ranges from 4 to 7 miles which is roughly 6 to 11 kilometres. The various routes below are rough examples of what you might find yourself running on a Monday or Wednesday with Squirrels.
Cottage Holt Dunton
Can be ran in either direction, the "correct way" is often debated.
Ashby-Magna Dunton
Looks a bit like the Little Dipper constellation.
Graveltrack Out-and-back
See if you can get all the way to the crossing before turning back roughly 30 mins into the run.
Around Broughton
A classic winter route with lots of small variations to adjust the distance, making it suitable for a range of pace groups. For a challenge, run up to the top of Speedwell and back, instead of the Aldi estate.
Leire Dunton
Croft via Cottage lane, return via fields
A great run in the summer (would be too muddy over the fields in the winter). If you are lucky you might see Julie Hill's horse.
Frolesworth Ashby Leire
Be warned, it is hilly.
Leire via Stemborough
Croft via Sutton in Elms OOB
Take care crossing the main road.
