Seniors Training

For all abilities and anyone aged over 18 years.

Geared towards people who are looking for a bit more structure to their running training. The notes set out below, describes in general, the weekly training sessions the club holds for its senior members.

Who are the sessions aimed at…..?

Anyone aged over 18 years old (no upper age limit – we have runners aged 70+) looking to ‘take the next step’ up in their training, all the way through to experienced club runners.

When…..?

Tuesday’s & Thursdays, leaving the centre at 7.15pm prompt.

Tuesdays tend to be the longer sessions. These can range in time from 3 to 10 minutes per interval. There are multiples of intervals that makes up a typical session. The exception may be specific hill running, continuous running,’ pyramid’ or ‘progression’ runs. Sessions last around an hour.

Thursdays tend to be shorter sessions. Again, there are multiples of timed intervals from 30 secs to 2 and a half minutes, that will typically make up a session from one minute to two minutes, repeating the interval more (typically 6 to 10). Sessions last around 45 minutes.

If you are new to sessions, recovering from injury, had significant time away from running and you’re not quite up to speed, we can personally tailor the session to your current fitness & ability levels. Always remember sessions are not cast in stone: If a session appears to you, to be difficult you can for example, miss out an interval or reduce the time on one (or more) of the timed intervals. You may be returning to training after injury or a lay-off away from running with the club. Please don’t let a session put you off from coming down to the club!

Throughout the year we are all at different levels of fitness, ability and health. Seasoned runners know this only too well. Running challenges the body and mind, but the benefits far outweigh negatives!

ENJOY YOUR RUNNING!
