Training Diary - Absolute 545 RunClub

Weekly Training Diary

As our club evolves, we want to be able to offer our members a greater variety of training options so that we can cater to your different goals and help you hit your personal targets.

We boast a wealth of experience, and among our numbers, we have qualified Coaches and Leaders in Running Fitness as well as many who have ‘been there and done that’ in a broad spectrum of sporting arenas, including competitive road, track, cross country, and extreme endurance athletes.

We also have members who enjoy multi-discipline events such as triathlons and duathlons.

If there is a particular issue that we don’t have an answer for, we are always open to discussion so that we can help our members enjoy the simple act of running, and there is no question too silly. This club has been built on a foundation of inclusivity and diversity, so if you have a question, ask away.

All of the options below are focussed on having fun whilst running. A member is not expected to participate in a particular session or competition. It’s your club, and you run when you want to.

So, to the training. We have found that the following sessions have been popular and will continue. Anyone is welcome to lead a session but will be supported by a qualified member in the first instance to ensure that the session is safe and relevant and that the person leading the session feels comfortable delivering it to other members.

Notice: In case of accident and/or injury, please be aware that participation in all training sessions should be considered ‘at your own risk’.

Core Weekly Training Plan

This is a typical week. Locations may differ occasionally, but sufficient notice will be given via the club home page, so members should check the new website regularly for updates.

The 545 RunClub and how it all began back in 2012 at Absolute Running Sports shop.

Meet at the WPM Club in Forton Road at 5:45pm for a social 5K, with an opportunity to meet the other members and make new friends over a soft drink or something stronger from the Club House on completion of the run, which caters for all paces, including Run/Walk.

Thursday

Spare

Currently, there are no planned sessions, so your opportunity to rest and recover or do something in your time and space, such as strength and conditioning, enjoying some family time or eating cake. It’s up to you.

Friday

Spare

Saturday

Parkrun day

For those who enjoy this global phenomenon, a chance to join club chums at an event somewhere so that Dayle Morgan (club Parkrun statsman) can dazzle us with all of your amazing achievements.

Sunday

The Breakfast Club

An 8am meeting at Bayside Cabin on Stokes Bay for an hour long group run.

All abilities can take part as we will group different paces together with the emphasis being on running more slowly than usual and enjoying the benefits of being outdoors and running with others.

The venue will occasionally change to give variety, and to help those wanting longer miles as part of a training plan, early starts can also be arranged.
