Saffron Striders - Training and Coaching

Saffron Striders have a varied programme of training sessions throughout the week. It means that whatever your ability, there will be something to suit!

TUESDAYS

This is the main weekly club run. Winters are spent on a variety of road-based sessions in the town, including a monthly time trial. In the summer when light permits, we head out into the surrounding beautiful countryside for some varied off-road runs.

Meet at 8pm in the foyer at the Lord Butler Leisure Centre, Saffron Walden.

THURSDAYS

Training sessions on Thursdays focus on improving speed, stamina and endurance, and include sprints, hills and circuit training.

7:30pm, locations vary, contact us for more details.

SATURDAYS

Our club coach holds hill and interval sessions at the Gogmagogs every Saturday morning.

Meet at the Gogs car park, 8:30am.

BEGINNERS' COURSE

Periodically, the club holds 10-week beginners' courses which are suitable for people who have never run before, or those who want to return to running after a long absence.
