About Senior Endurance

Our Endurance Group is a friendly group with a wide range of abilities and goals, from social runners to elite athletes. Road running, endurance and cross-country events are the main focus for the group who cover all distances and terrain between them.

Please contact Paul Cox if you’d like to be added to this list. (See Club Contacts).

We encourage everyone to try their hand at whatever takes their interest and make the most of the opportunity to discover new (or long forgotten) interest. Chances are there is someone in the club who can you explore and expand your running horizons.

You’ll be sure to find someone to have a chat to about your goals and aspirations as a club runner!

Our main training nights are Tuesdays and Thursdays (for all disciplines, although our locations do differ depending on each discipline). An overview of what a week in the endurance group looks like is set out below. They vary depending on whether we are training for cross country (winter) or Track (summer)

Our calendar also includes specific training sessions for the week.

• Tuesday – is track day. In the summer it is every tues day and in the winter we altinate track and road reps. We always meet at the track at 6:45pm for a 7pm start. Club announcements and drills take place before starting and we would encourage you to warm up prior to first meeting.

• Thursday – Thursday evenings are on the grass fields behind the track.

• Saturday in the winter we run sessions at Farley Mount at 9am and in the summer we are on the track from 9.30 ( track fee is charged for these sessions)
