Training

AHRC is based at Ashington Rugby Club. Our location gives us access to training  facilities and lots of secure outdoor space

Club regular sessions are:

Tuesday Run & Run/Walk Groups or Effort Session – 6.30pm Rugby Club

Thursday Run & Run/Walk Groups/Hill training or endurance run – 6.30pm Rugby Club

Friday Run Group – 6.30pm (usually meeting at Fox Cover car park)

Tuesday run groups offer either run/walk, slower run (10.30-12.30-minute miles) or faster run. You can choose which group you feel comfortable with, and as you progress can move into another group when you feel ready. Run/walk is roughly 2 miles, slower runs 3-4 miles and faster run 5 miles. There are also two groups for effort sessions, all focusing on speed work for 5 and 10 km races.

Thursday offers run & run/walk as above, also with the options of hill training and speed endurance. - See home page for dates and location.

Friday run group offers a social 5 mile run (run/walk not available on Fridays)

All effort sessions vary, but are developed to improve speed, ability and endurance.

Juniors from age 12+ may attend the Tuesday effort session, subject to a parent being a club member and atending the same session

Want to give it a go? Come along to any session, but please come along 15 minutes early on your first session. You can have 2-3 free runs with us, then we can discuss membership.

Please wear hi-viz clothing particularly in the dark nights
