Training groups
Club night is Tuesday evening with groups of various abilities as below, setting off between 7.15pm and 7.30pm.
To be able to cope with even the basic training you should be able to run 4 miles in 50 minutes. If you are not yet at this level why not try our Run in Leeds@Horsforth sessions for beginners - see the Run in Leeds@Horsforth page for more details
Our current groups are as follows:-
Marc's group - 7.15pm start
8-10 miles, sometimes fartlek, suitable for runners capable of 1.25 for a half marathon.
All are welcome but please note that these sessions can be intense and also can include some off road. If they are too fast for some then two groups will be formed so that everyone can benefit from the workout.
Angus's group - 7.30pm
Usually a longer steady paced run, suitable for runners capable of 1.30 for a half marathon. Sometimes merges with Marc's group, dependent upon demand.
Bev's group - 7.30pm
Fairly challenging runs which may include a mixture of different types of speedwork sessions. Normally around 7 to 10 miles in length. Suitable for anyone who can run a 10k in 40 to 48 minutes and is either looking to get faster or just fancies pushing themselves on a run.
Tina's group - 7.30pm
Aimed at runners trying to get under 50 minutes for a 10k. Between 5 and 10 miles, always specified before setting off, more often than not structured, hills/speedwork/tempo. Caters for mixed abilities therefore always regroups so you can make it as challenging as you like.
Andrews's group - 7.30pm
Similar to Tinas group in pace (48 minute 10k, 1:45 half-marathon) but distances slightly longer.
Jody's group - 7.30pm
This is an easy paced group for new runners who have done some running on their own and want to run with a group, to keep fit,
improve, enjoy racing and perhaps progress to running for one of the club teams, whatever they choose. Jody can cater for runners
who can do 12 minute miles or faster, so you need to be able to run 4 miles in 50 minutss or less. The runs are between 5 and 6 miles
with short stops every mile or so with a few optional challenges for people who are improving and wanting to move up to a faster
group. The route is described before leaving the clubhouse, everyone is encouraged and nobody is left behind. Jody looks forward
to meeting you.
