Training in Allenton
A 50 m pool, a track and a canal path.
Moorways Sports Village on Moor Lane is the anchor: a 50 m pool that splits into three 25 m pools, a leisure pool with three flumes, learner and teaching pools, a first-floor gym with Olympic racks and a big free-weight area, three studios, and a sauna and steam room. Moorways Stadium, run alongside it, has an athletics track and grass and artificial pitches, and Derby Athletic Club and 7 Steps Judo Kwai share the Moor Lane postcode. JD Gyms Derby and Great Britain Top Team Midlands are the other gyms on the list.
The old Derby Canal is now a tarmac cycle track that runs through Allenton's recreation ground and on into the city centre as part of the National Cycle Network. Ride it with a training partner, or book a lane at Moorways together and the early swims stop being optional.
