Glossop training appeals if I can get the train from town straight after work, I have a car but cycle to work, so by the time I'm home and picked up the car, and sat in traffic... I can hopefully make next Thursday (away on tues unfortunately, but the following week should be ok). Can a small bag be left in the leisure centre?

Will check out those route suggestions, good idea to look up race routes, and try out-and-backs. I was on Kinder last weekend walking, and then climbing at Windgather and loved it, definitely want to get out there running. Lynne - hope to meet you sometime with the club, I'm around some weekends as well so if you ever want a slow partner let me know. Thanks everyone, please keep any other thoughts coming.
Great stuff Caity, look forward to seeing you at Glossop Leisure Centre next Thursday! Yes, you will be able to leave bags, there are lockers and you can also use the shower facilities post-run. Let me know which train you're heading for and we might be able to meet up at Piccadilly.
