    TUESDAY GROUPS

    Tuesday training sessions are structured so that they are flexible, and you can move up and down on a weekly basis. The paces above are approximate paces and depend on the group, group leader and route.  No one will get left behind as there will always be frequent ‘regrouping’  and your friendly run leader will look after you.

    Over 8-10 miles – suitable for those who can run 10km in around 35-40 minutes

    Over 7-9 miles suitable for those who can run 10km in around 40-45 minutes
    Over 7-9 miles suitable for those who can run 10km in around 45-50 minutes
    Over 6-8 miles suitable for those who can run 10km in around 50- 55 minutes
    Over 5-7 miles suitable for those who can run 10km in around 60-65 minutes
    Over 3-6 miles. Aimed at those who are new to running but capable of running a parkrun (5k) or up to 40 minutes.
    Running with other runners at a like pace enables you to learn how to hang in with the group, experience the camaraderie whilst on the run, gain endurance strength from the pace and length of the runs, gain confidence that you are able to train on your own at such a pace and eventually at a quicker pace as running fitness improves.

    THURSDAY GROUPS

    There are two groups for our interval training nights and all abilities are welcome. If you’ve never tried it before come along.

    One group is suitable for all members of the club and focuses on drill technique and the sessions are tailored to who is available on the night alongside what races or events people may have. The other group may do longer repetitions or more of them.

    Benefits of speed endurance work include being able to increase your pace with the ‘speed play’ and quality repetitions, learning how to handle running at an intense and quicker pace over short distances, gaining speed-strength when done on a consistent basis; as a result, you will be ready and able to incorporate these elements into races and overcome any discomfort that running at speed produces.

    Running Holidays

    We also organise running holidays both in the Uk and abroad. Previously we have run the West Highland Way over 5 days, training weeks to Lanzarote, weekends away to run European events such as Milan Half Marathon, Berlin, Malta and Bilbao 10km, Half Marathon and Marathon. In November 2024, we're heading to Spain for the Benidorm 10k and Half Marathon.
