Club Sessions

Session leaders: All our session leaders hold either the England Athletics’ Leadership in Running Fitness or Coaching in Running Fitness course. We welcome anyone who would like to assist with a session, please speak to any of our session leaders.

Routes: please ensure you are familiar with the routes.

Intervals: unless notified otherwise these will start from BLC and be a mix of hill sessions, sprints, loops etc.

Sunday long runs: although there no formal orgainised Sunday routes planned, there are often informal routes posted on our Facebook page.

HIGH VIZ MANDATORY PLEASE

We would encourage all runners to arrive up to 10 or 15 minutes early to cater for announcements.

Unless otherwise stated, start and finish at Brackley Leisure Centre. Low light conditions dictating, runs tend to be of short to medium distance depending on the ‘group’ that each individual places themselves in.

3 – 6 miles is typical and we tend to adhere to ‘safe’ ‘around town’ loops or circuits that are reasonably well lit and free from vehicular traffic.

ALL runners shoud wear a high-viz vest or some other form of high visibility clothing to ensure that they are easily seen by any vehicular traffic that they might encounter.

Departure times are PROMPT thus runners should arrive in good time, 10 to 15 minutes beforehand, for any briefings and the usual social ‘chit chat’ and exchange of pleasantries!!

Gentle Pace Group

New to running?
Completed your first 5k and unsure where to go next?
Coming back from injury?
Just fancy a social chatty run?

Then we can cater for you!

We have a dedicated Gentle Pace Group. This group works along side the main running groups but is for those that want a more steady pace and shorter distance.

All we ask is that you are able to run 4 miles at an average pace of around 10-11.30 minutes per mile.

We are a friendly chatty group who love welcoming newcomers and seeing them progress onto the main groups if they so wish. We are encouraging and supportive. We have 2 leaders for each running route so there is always someone at the front and someone at the back to make sure everyone stays together. We also stop regularly to allow for breaks and to bring the group back together.

The GPG also gets involved with the speed training and hill sessions so you will also get to meet the rest of the club members.

If this sounds like the group for you then come along and see us. We meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 6.50pm at the leisure centre. Keep an eye on facebook for routes and meeting points.
