Last Thursday of the Month 5k time-trial

On the last Thursday of every month, we run a 5k time-trial. It's not a race, more an opportunity to run an accurate 5k at whatever effort level or speed you want; for example, one of the traditional ways to run time-trials is to run each one at the same heart-rate or effort level, then compare your times from run-to-run: if you run quicker for the same heart-rate then you are fitter! (assuming similar weather conditions).

The route

We always start at the junction of Park Street and St Albans Street; in the winter the course heads down Sheet Street, along the Kings Road, then down Albert Road to Old Windsor and back; in the summer we run down Park Street, along the Long Walk, then turn left along Albert Road down to Old Windsor and back. View the map to see more details.

The results are now included on the normal results page. Historical results can be seen below.
