Road Running Training

As West Cheshire AC is a broad-based club with members of all ages competing on and off-road, or just running with like-minded others, we try to offer a variety of training runs and sessions. Whether a tentative beginner, "born again" runner or seasoned club racer, the best introduction to the club is to give one of the following a try (all begin at about 6:30 pm):

The Monday and Thursday runs from Northgate Arena (Monday runs due to move from Cheshire County Sports Club as of January 2016) take about an hour, mostly on roads around Chester. Muster points around the run ensure that no one is left behind.
 
The Tuesday night fartlek from Cheshire County Sports Club is a run of about 90 minutes also around the roads of Chester, interspersed with a few faster efforts. This is for slightly faster runners than the Monday and Thursday group, but is still not an "elite" session. 
 
Track sessions for middle and longer distance runners of all ages and abilities are on Tuesday and Thursday nights at Ellesmere Port Sports Village (ex-Stanney Oaks Leisure Centre). These are not as daunting as you might think, and can make a big difference to your road racing personal bests.
