TRAINING RUNS If you enjoy going for a run then the following groups are for you. Although the groups may have specific goals, many people come along to keep fit, healthy and enjoy a run with friends. The main focus for each group is a simple training run but we offer some variety as shown in the descriptions below. | ||
BEGINNERS COURSE | An eight week beginners course. The course builds up your running gradually, at a gentle 'chatty' pace, so that by week 8 you will be running or run/walking for 40 minutes. The course is perfect for those new to running or returning after a long break. No basic level of fitness is required as the course caters for all. | Anne Thorpe* Helen Clarke |
EASY RUN GROUP | People in this group are comfortable running between 4 and 6km in an hour. A typical Thursday run may involve a 'chatty' run and include some ten second 'sparkles' or strides. If you need to walk/run that is fine. The group is ideal if you have missed a few weeks of running and want to get going again. Our broad aim is to build up the distance you can run in the hour but if you want to tackle your first parkrun. | Anne Thorpe* supported by: Isabel Read Lizzie Kimber Jan Benjamin |
The Easy Run Group will merge with the Beginners course around week 5 or 6. The Easy Run Group will run further than the beginners in these sessions. | ||
STEADY RUN GROUP | People in this group are comfortable running 7-8k in an hour. This group is for people who like to do a steady run rather than different paced efforts. | Sharon Bowers |

STRUCTURED TRAINING SESSIONS These sessions will usually include a variety of paces and effort levels. These groups may cover a greater distance in the hour than the training run groups and they may follow a periodised plan leading up to target races. However, each group's sessions are suitable for anyone who wants to improve their fitness whether aiming to compete in events or not. | ||
TRAINING TOWARDS 10k GROUP | This is group offers more structured training group for those working towards completing or improving their 10k time. This group is a good introduction to sessions that include varied paced efforts and hill training. It is ideal if you are working towards our Away Day 10ks. | Colin Lancaster* |
PB IMPROVERS | People in this group are comfortable running between 9 and 10km in an hour. Having some base fitness will help you get the most out of these sessions. Sessions offer a transition to more structured training runs, building confidence, strength and the ability to run faster with varied paced efforts and running technique drills. | Richard Ingram* Les Edwards Trish Collier Louisa Hughes |
RACERS | People in this group are comfortable running between 9 and 10km in an hour. A faster paced group following a structured plan including blocks of training, targeting upcoming events. Includes anaerobic intervals, speed work, hill efforts, time trials and technique drills. | Adrian Pickles* Laura Perratt |
