Run Cluj.
Five routes, traced from the OpenStreetMap path network and measured off the geometry — 11.3 km of it. Not a sketch, and not a number anyone typed in.
Cluj-Napoca, all five.
Start on Parcul Central. It is flat, lit, and short enough that a first session is four easy laps with walking breaks — see the first month below.
Every line on this map is the real path network from OpenStreetMap, not a sketch. Select a route to see what it is good for, what to watch out for, and how the standard sessions divide into it.
Distances are the haversine sum of each trace, and elevation is sampled from a 90 m DEM. ODbL 1.0 — © OpenStreetMap contributors.
What fits where.
| Session | Hard distance | Routes it fits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 × 4 | Hard distance 4.1 km | Routes it fits 3 of 5 routes | Four four-minute efforts at roughly 3:55/km. |
| 6 × 3 | Hard distance 4.6 km | Routes it fits 3 of 5 routes | At roughly 3:55/km, with two minutes easy between. |
| 10 × 400 | Hard distance 4.0 km | Routes it fits 3 of 5 routes | Ten fast four-hundreds with ninety seconds of easy jogging. |
| 5 × 1000 | Hard distance 5.0 km | Routes it fits 3 of 5 routes | Kilometre reps with a 400 m easy jog between. |
| Tempo 20′ | Hard distance 4.6 km | Routes it fits 3 of 5 routes | One continuous block at about 4:20/km. |
One loop is enough
to get started.
