OUR RUNS
We have runs most days of the week! They are open to all members.
If you are new, then you can come to a few sessions to try the club out as a trial before committing to joining.
All sessions are free to members (although we pay to use the Track at Longford Park)
Tuesday
Club Run 18:45/19:00 at the Bowling Green pub.
Our main club runs are led by our fantastic run leaders and you won’t get left behind. Groups of up to 15 go out for a run of 4-7 miles with a set pace, with breaks. We’re back by about 20:15 when there’s is social gathering afterwards!
18:45: paced groups at 9 mins/mile (5:40 mins/km) up to 12+ mins/mile (7:30 mins/km) in increments.
19:00: paced groups at 9 mins/mile (5:40 mins/km) down to sub 7 mins/mile (4:20 mins/km).
TUESDAY
Speed training 18:30, location seasonal (Members Only)
Summer: Gas Post at Turn Moss Playing Fields
Winter: Longford Park track (£4 for the track use)
Coached sessions which are tailored to where we are in the season. We usually run for set blocks of time, all starting and finishing together. All abilities are welcome but these sessions are designed to improve your basic body strength, skill, and speed. You will be pushed!
Wednesday
Hill Training 18:30, location seasonal (Members Only)
Summer: Meet 6.30pm at Kenworthy Woods
Winter: outside Sai Spice, Maudelth Road West
Hill Training is suitable for all speeds and fitness levels though this is a members-only session. They develop specific strength, and conditioning, that will directly transfer across to improved running performance.
Wednesday
Hill and Fell 18:30 (usually), location changes but outside of Manchester, enquire to find out.
Full FRA kit is required and in the winter a head torch too. Lifts are often available from Chorlton and we meet at a pub. After the run, there is usually food available (pre-booking recommended).
Split into two or three groups of different speeds and strengths so everyone is challenged without feeling like they are slowing others down. We also have a Lambs group especially for runners new to the hills.
Friday
Track 18:30 Longford Track (Members Only)
A second coached session of the week. It is more intervals at the track to help you build your speed. You get out what you put into it.
All abilities are welcome but these sessions are designed to improve your basic body strength, skill, and speed. You will be pushed!
CR members only, £4 cash on the door.
Sunday
Club run 09:00 at the Bowling Green pub
Similar to a Tuesday but more relaxed. Groups will go from 6 miles (10km) up to even 22 miles (35km). This depends on the time of year and people’s training plans for races. Don’t worry, we always make sure there is a group for everyone.
