Training

Tuesdays at 7:00 pm | Thursdays at 6:30 pm

Please join us on a run and try out the Club's training sessions. Our main training session is held on Tuesday night from 7.00pm to 8.00pm. We also meet on Thursday at 6.30pm. We usually meet at the Harrogate Squash and Sports Club, just off of Plantation Road in Harrogate unless there is a running or social event elsewhere.

Training sessions are split into ability groups. On Tuesdays there are normally fast, medium and slower groups. On Thursdays there are normally just the medium and slower groups. People are encouraged to move between each group and fit in wherever they they feel most comfortable.

The fast group will typically train at between 6:00 and 7:30 minute mile pace. The training session normally involves efforts, the type of effort decided on the night. It may be some sort of fartlek session, a hill session, intervals etc.

The medium group will typically do some type of interval training during the autumn and winter months under the guidance of our coach, Sheila Boyde.

The social group will typically train at between 8:30 and 9:30 minute mile pace. The pace will be dictated by the slowest members of the group. The route and distance is generally decided on the night, but typically between 5 and 7 miles.

The Young Athletes training group meets separately with the training sessions organised and co-ordinated by their coach, Jeff Leigh (01423-568335).
