Training

Please find below the club training timetable and details of the different locations with maps.  If you need further advice or have any questions, please get in touch.

Note: If you are not a member, you must complete the trial membership form before you can attend any training sessions. You cannot just turn up. We  would recommend that all new club members attend a Tuesday intervals session first. This will give you chance to speak to one of the coaches about which group you should sign up with for the longer runs.

All training runs needs to be booked via our club App. As a guide, these are the approximate running paces for each group:

Fast – 7 to 9 min miles

Medium – 8.30 to 11 min miles

Steady – 11 to 14 min miles

Much will depend on the terrain, as to the pace of the group. You can message a group leader to check if the group is right for you. This can be done through the App.

Please make yourself known to your group leader if you are new and if you have any concerns about the group they will be able to help you.
