Seniors

Run with us, your way

Whether you're aiming to finish your first parkrun, gain a marathon PB, or just seeking a supportive group to build fitness, you've found your club! 


While our base is the excellent Woodside Stadium track, we promise we're not just about speed. We welcome anyone over the age of 18, no matter their experience or ability. We use Woodside as a base for a variety of training that takes us onto the track, into the park, and out onto the roads and trails. We also run senior and junior sessions at the same time so the whole family can train.


Consistent, Varied Training

We structure our main Tuesday and Thursday evening sessions to make you a fitter, stronger runner.


  • Everyone is welcome: Every session offers Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced options for speed and distance. You choose what matches your fitness and goals.
  • Seasonal focus: Our training changes with the calendar, whether you're building to a spring marathon or sharpening for autumn cross-country.


Tuesday

Interval sessions for speed

Warm-up from 6.30 PM for 7:00 PM start, Woodside Stadium


Thursday

Sessions on track, road, or trails for endurance

Warm-up from 6.30 PM for 7:00 PM start, Woodside Stadium


Saturday

Endurance runs

10:00 AM start, Cassiobury Park (Contact us for details)


Weekends

Steady runs

Organised frequently by members—everyone's welcome!


Supportive coaching

You won't find a coach standing on the sidelines shouting times. We set the session, lead the warm-up, and then run with you, offering gentle encouragement, helpful advice and motivation.


Competition

Competition is always optional but encouraged. We compete in various races and leagues throughout the year, including the Chiltern Cross Country League and the Southern Athletics League (SAL).


Come and have a go

Before joining, we offer 3 free sessions to help you get a feel for the club and how we train. If you’d like to learn more, get in touch.
