HTR Pacing for our Runs
Our regular club runs are carried out at a variety of paces with the aim to support you in the transition to the next group or your next running challenge. These are being categorised as π, ππ, πππ and ππππ similar to the spice scale in restaurants.

|---|---|---|
| π | A perfect group for nice fun people who have a Garmin but don't care about the stats. | 35+ minute parkrun |
| ππ | Builds long-lasting energy while keeping your cardiovascular system in top shape | 30-34 minute parkrun |
| πππ | Helps you stop fighting the run and start flowing through it | 26-29 minute parkrun |
| ππππ | Builds the art of running hard and pretending itβs fine | 20-25 minute parkrun |
NOTE: There are more stops in the π and ππ runs, reducing in πππ and ππππ is occasional stops if needed to regroup.
