Training Overview

Our Club Coach, Rob Kelly is a Qualified England Athletic Coach (Level 2) and leads our training session twice a week. Rob is ably assisted by Carol Bradwell (also a Qualified England Athletic Coach - Level 2) and their team of qualified Run Leaders.

Monday night training
We meet at Southampton Common (on the triangle opposite the Bellmoor Pub) at 6.20 for a 6.30 start. The group is usually split into three sub-groups to allow for different paces. This means that the slower group will still suit beginners coming along for the first time, and the faster group are pretty much ready to join us at the Tuesday night session. Rob plans to keep the beginners group going, so if you know anyone who might be interested,please encourage them to attend.

Tuesday night training
In the winter months we meet at 6.20pm for a 6.30pm start at The Oasis Academy, Fairisle Road, Lordshill.
In the spring, when the lighter evenings become available (usually near the time of the London Marathon in April) we train at the Sports Centre so meet at The Oasis Academy at 6.20pm or at the Sports Centre at 6.45pm."

Thursday night training
We meet at 6.20pm for a 6.30pm start at The Oasis Academy, Fairisle Road, Lordshill. This session is normally classed as our "social run", and will include a 5 mile option if required. On a regular basis we also meet at a location in the New Forest for our famous Night Runs - using head torches and the pathways within the enclosures, running as a group to encourage all paces.

Our training is ultimately aimed at improving our fitness and we encourage our members to enter the local race leagues.
