Remember at this time of year, it is important to be seen and keep safe whilst out jogging.
Wear your reflective jackets etc now!
If you don't have a Hi Viz jacket, I have some reflective vests that you can buy at the various jog groups throughout the authority.
Please see attached photograph.
Important Tips To Stay Safe:
Always run facing the traffic
Always keep your wits about you and be alert to your surroudings.
Consider leaving your headphones at home.
Remember to tell someone where you are going and when you will be back.
Consider taking your mobile phone with you.
Many thanks

Time/Distance/Pace Calculator We all want to know how fast, how far, how long we ran - but we just don't want to do the math!
Enter any two items (Time, Distance or Pace) and the units for distance and pace, and our calculator will compute the third. You might want to come here after each of your training runs or races to figure your exact split time for your distance.
