Training in Long Buckby

Rugby, a station and the canal.

Long Buckby is a large village of about 4,500 people (Census 2021), on a hill about 4.5 miles north-east of Daventry. Its biggest club is Long Buckby Rugby Football Club, whose licensed clubhouse opened in 1975, and the village's doubles tennis tournament has been played every July since 1907. Guilsborough Playing Field and The Stables are on the list too. For a gym and a pool, Daventry Leisure Centre is the obvious public option.

The Grand Union Canal runs past the hamlet of Long Buckby Wharf, and the station south of the village has trains to Northampton, Birmingham and London. A training partner who'll meet you at the wharf for a run, or share the train to a Northampton gym, is worth finding.
