Tuesday and Thursday training nights give members the opportunity to run as a group. The club coaches lead the group through a series of running activities aimed at improving overall stamina, strength and speed. Groups are of mixed abilities but work together. A typical session of one hour plus will include a series of hill and/or speed repetitions at selected local areas. Training locations are varied and of varying degrees of difficulty but you are encouraged to do your best. Saltwell Park is a popular venue during the Summer months. Regular training will help to get you motivated and will improve your running and overall fitness.

Training advice

Warm up - gentle running for 10 minutes

Don’t eat a large meal within 1 hour - a slice of toast will provide you with energy

Drink plenty of water - ensure you are hydrated before training

Ensure you have a good pair of cushioned running shoes

New shoes - Wear them in before training i.e. around the house

Cool down - stretch for 5 minutes after your training session
