Our RUNNING Sessions

We have sessions most days of the week! They are open to all members. If you are new then you can come to a few sessions to try the club out before joining.

Tuesday: Club Run 6:45pm/7pm at the Bowling Green pub.

This is one of our core sessions. Groups of up to 15 go out for a run of 4-7 miles with a set pace and breaks when needed. We tend to be finished by 8:15pm and then there is a social chat in the pub afterwards.

Sunday: Club run 9am at the Bowling Green pub

Similar to a Tuesday but more relaxed. Groups will go from 6 miles (10km) up to even 22 miles (35km). This depends on the time of year and people’s training plans for races. Don’t worry, we always make sure there is a group for everyone.

The groups at 6:45pm are for groups that run at 9 mins/mile (5:40 mins/km) up to 12+ mins/mile (7:30 mins/km) in increments. The 7pm groups are for 9 mins/mile (5:40 mins/km) down to sub 7 mins/mile (4:20 mins/km).

Runs are led by our fantastic run leaders and you won’t get left behind.

Tuesday: Speed training 6:30pm location seasonal.

Summer: Gas Post at Turn Moss https://maps.app.goo.gl/YboEJJaDTHSnEN9SA

Winter: Longford Park track (£4 for the track use)

Coached sessions which are tailored to where we are in the season. We usually run for set blocks of time, all starting and finishing together. All abilities are welcome but these sessions are designed to improve your basic body strength, skill, and speed. You will be pushed!

Wednesday: Hill and Fell 6:30pm (usually), location changes but outside of Manchester, enquire to find out.

Full FRA kit is required and in the winter a head torch too. Lifts are often available from Chorlton and we meet at a pub. After the run, there is usually food available (pre-booking recommended).

We try to split into two or three groups of different speeds and strengths so everyone is challenged without feeling like they are slowing others down. We also have a Lambs group especially for runners new to the hills.

Friday: Track 6:30pm Longford Track

A second coached session of the week. It is more intervals at the track to help you build your speed. You get out what you put into it.
