HAZLEHEAD 500s

Another old favourite returns as we ask you to join us on Tuesday September 10th for the Hazlehead 500s - a session designed to improve your speed endurance. And we are delighted to be joined this week by guest coach Claire Bruce, who is a Scotland international road runner with vast experience over 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon.

We'll be using the paths and trails at the southern end of the Hazlehead Woods.  After the usual warm-up routine, the session will start with a couple of sustained efforts on a trail which winds its way gradually uphill towards Denwood.

We'll then pair off into teams of 2 evenly matched runners for a relay held on an undulating 500m loop through the woods for a set period of time. And we'll finish off with a slightly downhill sustained effort on the same trail we used at the start.

This is an all inclusive session suitable for all runners. No-one will be left behind.

This session  contains our usual winning formula which provides a challenging running workout within a fun and relaxed environment.

We'll kick off with a light jog,some gentle activation exercises and a few strides - all designed to get you properly warmed up before tackling the core part of the session. The workout finishes with a slow cooldown jog and optional post-run exercises.

We are a friendly group and always keen to help newcomers - so come along  - and bring a friend.

Coaching, encouragement and good advice will be on hand throughout.

There's ample free parking and our meeting point will be the Hazlehead Park main car park at the tip of the running track.

Please arrive ready to start at 6pm. The whole session,including warm-ups/cool down and exercises, lasts approx one hour.
