Training

AHRC is based at Bothal Primary School in Ashington. Our location gives us access to school facilities including playing field, track and gym for fitness classes.

Club regular sessions are:

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

Thursday Run & Run/Walk Groups/Hill training or endurance run – 7.00pm (see home page for dates & locaton)

Friday Run Group – 7.00pm

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 run 3 miles and faster run 3-4 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 either 4 or 6-mile options, slow or faster run (run/walk not available on Fridays)

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

Want to give it a go? Come along to any session, but please come along 15 minutes early on your first session to complete a short health questionnaire (available to download below). Guest fee is £2 per session, and if you have a hi-viz top please wear it - note we have hi-viz vests you can borrow on the night.
