Senior training overview

As a club we have several different training opportunities going on throughout the week that you can dip in and out of as frequently as you like. Below are descriptions of the main ones.

Mondays - Track: Low key / active recovery session

18:30, Abbeycroft Leisure Centre

Ideal for brand new and less experienced runners looking to start progressing their running in a friendly welcoming group environment. Also active recovery from a weekend long run for more experienced runners. The warm up will begin at 18:30.

Wednesdays - Track: aerobic session

18:30, Abbeycroft Leisure Centre

Advanced multi-paced aerobic interval sessions. Periodised through the year to prepare for club targets, these are usually fairly high volume, tougher sessions for those looking to get fitter. But you don't have to do the whole session and being time based intervals these are suitable for all. Main session will actually start about 6.45pm but you are welcome to warm up on the track beforehand.

Sundays - Long runs

09:00, Various start locations around Bury

This is organised by our Whatsapp groups (see Senior Training for more information) so you can run with similar speed runners, varying in distances but usually roughly 10miles.

Sundays - Cross country training

09:00, Nowton Park

Held in the Winter only, varied sessions of efforts and hills to prepare for Suffolk Winter league.
