Adult Training

This group is aimed at people who have never run before and would like to challenge themselves with something new. It is also ideal for those who have run in the past and would like to get back to running again after injury etc.  Once the C25K program is complete our athletes have the option of moving to the next level.  The program will run on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7pm for 8 weeks with day 3 of each week at the local park run.

 

Fit for LIfe is for those who want to run in a non competitive environment and have fun running with others.  It is split into two groups.  The first is aimed at our C25K graduates to maintain their 5k level and improve their 5k times. It is also suitable for those who want to return to running after injury or time out of sport and want to start again.

The second group is for those who want to run faster 5ks,10ks, 10 miles, half and full marathons.  We have a wonderful team of coaches for every pace so no one is left behind.  Our athletes can run a 5k in any time between 26 and 45 minutes.

Fit for Life meet on a Monday and Wednesday night at 7pm.  Athletes take part in parkruns and road races. We also introduce throwing on occasion during the summer months.

Monday at 7pm - Easy chatting paced running to build stamina and aerobic fitness

Wednesday at 7pm - Intervals and hill training to build strength and speed

We always start with dynamic warmups, and finish with static cooldowns and of course loads of chatting. Our group is essentially about being consistent and having a Fit for Life mentality in a fun and social environment.  We also have advice to share on nutrition and strength training.
