Thursday 7th October is the first week of the BARF winter training programme, running all the way up to the start of the Hill and Dale races in April.

These will be weekly interval sessions, designed to add some hills-focussed intensity to your running and get you ready for the mountains!

We will be easing into it in week 1 with short hill reps beside Lock Keepers just off the Lagan towpath, as well as a warmup and cooldown together.

Meet at 7pm at Shaw’s Bridge car park and don’t forget to bring a headtorch.
