Training in Kirkstall

Abbey, river, canal and courts.

Kirkstall Leisure Centre has a 25 m pool, a learner pool, a gymnastics hall and four squash courts, two of them glass-backed. PureGym Kirkstall Bridge handles open-access lifting, Carnegie Sports Centre and Milford Sports Club are close by, and Spartans Academy teaches krav maga, with Sea Cloud Hall for tai chi and kung fu.

The ruins of Kirkstall Abbey, founded around 1152, stand in a public park on the River Aire, and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath runs west towards Rodley and Shipley and east into Leeds. It's a fine stretch for a long run with a training partner, out along the water and back past the abbey.
