Weekly Meetings

We are able to cater for a wide range of running speeds during our weekly training nights. Tuesday nights are organised by our club coaches and we usually have at least 4 running groups, based approximately on the training pace listed below. Each group will be allocated a Run Leader who will aim to run at the appropriate pace, making sure everyone knows the planned route.

Our training sessions always begin with a dynamic warm up, led by one of the qualified run leaders. Before setting off, just decide which group you want to run with and off you go. The group-based runs are there to make sure everybody knows where they are going and to make sure that no one gets left behind. Of course if you want to run ahead of a group at your own pace that is fine.

Once a month – on the first Tuesday in the month – you will be encouraged to attempt a speed endurance session consisting of hill or sprint reps. Of course that isn’t for everyone, so there will usually be the option of joining a small group for a steady paced run.

Thursday run sessions are more of a social run than the Tuesday training sessions.

We tend to run in 1 or two groups and allow runners at the back to catch up. To be comfortable on the regular Thursday run you need to be able to run at 12 minutes per mile or faster for 4 or 5 miles.

The Thursday Running Group is  a #runandtalk run for mental health awareness once a month .

We will have trained Run Leaders at all sessions to lead the group, decide upon a route and ensure no one gets left behind!
