For the senior distance runners not receiving individual coaching, the following group training
sessions are organised for runners of all abilities. This table will be updated monthly, so
please check regularly, as the venue of the weekend sessions will change from month to month.
A brief description of each session type is given at the bottom of the page.
Please note that there will be no formal weekend sessions when there are important team races
open to all runners. Those not racing with the team could perhaps do a 'Park Run' 5 Km race on
those weekends to get a good work out.
The Tuesday night sessions at the club are usually Road Intervals around or near the stadium, and are suitable for all abilities, splitting up into separate groups for some of the sessions. Each of the sessions will usually involve 20 - 25 minutes of fast running in total, during the efforts, with a short warm up and warm down run before and after the efforts. Start 7 pm prompt from Thornes Park Stadium. The Thursday night session at the club is a Steady Road Run of around 60 minutes, starting and finishing at the stadium. Group leaders will try and ensure there is a group running at a pace to suit all abilities. Start 7 pm prompt from Thornes Park Stadium. The Sunday morning session is a Long Easy Run off-road for about 75 - 90 minutes. The venue of this run will vary from month to month to give variety, and starts at 9 am. It is suggested that those who wish to go further do extra miles before or after the group run. |
