This is where we conduct most of our spring &summer training sessions just beyond the leisure centre at Blayney Row. They are varying loops of timed distances from 1to10mins. The number of reps also varies from 1to10.

Where conditions permit, Juniors use the playing field throughout the year for structured training & conditioning work. Seniors use the field in summer for some of their sessions. In summer, the field is usually marked out as a 400 metre running track.

Some of our winter training sessions take place here at Warburtons Industrial Estate. Both Seniors & Juniors use Shelley Road and the incline (slip road to the estate) we conduct interval, pyramid and hill rep training sessions.

Newburn Riverside Estate is the location for the Senior training group for the longer winter training sessions. These take place around this 1.16km loop. Timed sessions will vary from 3 to 6 minutes. Pyramid sessions also take place here. One favourite is 5-4-3-3-2-1 minutes. The area is quiet, flat, well lit and provides a good running environment.

During the winter months we have a training program that includes Hill sessions. We use Wallbottle bank & the hilly side streets adjacent to Grange Road. Both Seniors and Juniors take advantage of the hills! We luv em we do !
