Saturday 22nd November - the Dawn Chorus

Meeting place
A group of 20 brave runners turned out for Dawn's 'surprise' this morning on a mild, but slightly damp & dreary morning. 

Meeting at Clough Bank, after a warm up led by Harry & a briefing, we headed off along the Middlewood Way to Tytherington meeting D group going the opposite way on the silk road bridge. 

After a Tytherington loop around Rugby Drive we stopped at the grassy area for a speed pyramid.  A couple of people nursing injuries took it steadily, but a good effort was made by everyone to push themselves in terms of speed today.
We did 15 seconds, 30, 45, 60, 45, 30 and   eeeerm 25 (as there was a little bit of confusion, whilst taking photographs - sorry everyone!)  We then headed back along the Middlewood Way to Clough Bank again high-fiving D group on their way back.  This was a 3.6 mile route but was increased to just over 4 miles including the pyramid.  Great effort everyone - I hope you're not too stiff tomorrow!
