Wintervals

It's that time of year already... Wintervals are back!

It's a great place to keep fit and conditioned, train with a group, get advice on technique and be coached through different sessions to help improve your speed, strength and endurance.

The sessions are designed for runners of all abilities; each session will consist of 2 parts.
Part 1 will focus on technique, drills and good practice.
Part 2 will be a more physically demanding and will be a unique session aimed at targeting a specific area such as Speed, Endurance or Strength.

Our sessions are based on time (opposed to distance) meaning everyone exercises for the same length of time irrelevant of speed - making it suitable for all abilities.

What are the main aims of Wednesday Wintervals?
-To improve your technique and fitness
-Give you confidence in your running
-Provide a friendly and positive environment for you to train in during winter
-Try to answer any questions you have regarding all things running

Wednesday Wintervals is run in 3 week blocks from April.  Each 3 week block will cost £15.

Group sizes are limited to 18 per session.
Wintervals this year will be every Wednesday with block booking for each month
(NB No session on the 25th of Dec or 1st Jan)

The 1st part will be technique and drill based.
The 2nd part will be more taxing on the legs and lungs.
