Training
Training sessions are held on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings at 7pm sharp.
The sessions rotate on a four weekly basis and they also change from summer to winter.
Tuesday runs are Efforts sessions in which two of them are hills and the other two are flat sprints – here’s a detailed explanation of our training sessions and runs.
Thursday runs are a longer tempo run, ranging from 6.5 miles to 8 miles.
Sunday runs are decided during the week and depend upon races occurring.
We also do shorter run on Thursdays of approx 5-6 miles which will follow a similar route to the main run. Malcolm will be leading this group if needed. An ideal opportunity for new runners, recovering runners or tapering runners !
