Training

Cregagh Glen Nov 2022

Training takes place every Monday and Thursday evening from September to April, then we break for the hill running season. 

Monday sessions are interval-based runs on the road or at the track, focussed on improving speed and fitness.

Thursday sessions are hill-based training runs on off-road terrain, focussed on improving uphill and downhill running. These sessions take place at various locations in and around Belfast. We warm-up/cooldown as a group, then move into a variety of hill focused intervals, which increase as the training block progresses. Club members do as many or as few as they like.

We are a club of all abilities and ages, so don’t be put off, come along and try a session or two before joining the club.

During the summer months (April-Sept), we will be meeting for social trail runs, keep an eye on the schedule for further details.

Monthly schedules and meeting points are posted on our Facebook Page & Instagram

All runners need a head-torch for winter training (Sept-March). Trail shoes and a waterproof jacket are also recommended.
