Wednesday Wintervals

Wednesday Wintervals is back for 2018/19!

It's a great place to keep fit over the winter, 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 in the months of November, December, January and February. Each 3 week block will cost £15 or you can book on all 4 for £50.

Group sizes are limited to 18 per session.

Each block consists of 3 Wednesday sessions. Apart from January these will be the first 3 Wednesdays of each month.
