Running hills is an excellent way for runners to improve because the incline naturally builds strength, power, and endurance without needing extra equipment.

The uphill effort forces your legs, core, and lungs to work harder, boosting cardiovascular fitness and muscle efficiency, while the downhill strengthens control and improves running economy.

Over time, this translates into faster flat-ground running, better stamina, and reduced injury risk thanks to stronger supporting muscles.

Tonight's Run | Arkwright Trail

We kicked off the evening with a boost from Harry and his delicious homemade sweet treats 🍬 Thank you, Harry!

A warm welcome to our new Striders tonight — it was wonderful to meet you and we hope you enjoyed your first adventure with us.

It was also fantastic to welcome back some familiar faces. Welcome home, Striders — we've missed you 💛

🚶‍♀️ Rachel led the walkers on a fabulous route, sharing plenty of smiles and hellos with the locals along the way.

❤️ Jamie and Jean-Louis took Reds out for a super-speedy run.

💙 Chris and Kristian led Blues on a wilderness adventure through the trails.

💚 Sarah, Dave and Carol helped spread the love between Green Group and our newest C25K Graduates as they continue their running journey,.on an out and back.

Most of all, thank you to every Strider for supporting, encouraging and looking out for one another. That's what makes this community so special.

And, as always...
It never rains on a Striders night ☀️😉

MONDAY MINDSET 🌼

The hardest step is often pressing "Sign Up."

But here's what actually happens on a Striders night...

You arrive nervous.
You meet a leader.
You learn the route.
You meet your people.

You find your pace.
Share a few laughs.
Take a few "improved" turns.
Make a few friends.

And somehow...

you leave feeling better than when you arrived. 💚🤍💚

You've got this.
See you in the car park 🌱
