Club runs

Our club run takes place on Tuesday evening. There is also a regular coaching session on a Thursday evening which may include speed work or hill sessions.

The Tuesday evening run venue is the Oval Centre, Salterbeck, Workington; meet at 18:15 for a prompt 18:30 start. There are changing facilities and showers.

The Tuesday winter route is on well lit roads and is approx 7.5 miles; summer routes on a Tuesday evening are more varied, and include routes over the 'slag banks', or down the coast to Harrington and back via the cycle-way.

Watch this page for changes in venue - occasionally during summer months we may meet up at a different location; a change is as good as a rest!

These are serious club training runs; you should be able to run 7.5 miles comfortably. The runs are broken into sections to allow slower runners to catch up, the faster runners run back to meet them.

The Thursday coaching sessions are organised by Sheila and Keith McVeigh. These sessions are primarily aimed at speed work, hill work or building towards a distance.

Contact Keith & Sheila for changes in venue - speed sessions are usually held at the Copeland Athletic Track at Whitehaven (usually 18:30 start), but we meet at other venues depending on the session that they have planned ( usually 18:00 start ).
