Training
Monday night
This session starts at 6pm from the Queens Centre in Galashiels.
Monday night was traditionally ‘ladies night’ but is now a large mixed training session. Each session lasts approximately one hour and normally commences with a warm-up session followed by roadwork. The training changes week-to-week from a continuous run, long repetitions e.g. km or mile sessions, hill work and short repetitions. In the summer season some of the sessions are off-road.
The sessions are open to everyone of any ability - from jogger upwards.
Charges - there is a £1 charge for each training session - payable in the honesty box - that goes towards training courses for our coaches and to subsidise club kit. There is an additional charge of £1 if you wish to use the showers in the Queens Centre.
Tuesday night
This session starts at 6:30pm from the Queens Centre in Galashiels and has a similar format to the Monday evening training. It is mainly a men’s night with perhaps more challenging demands on the athlete (it’s hard!).
Charges - as per Monday.
Thursday night
This session meets at the Tweedbank Athletics track at 6:15pm for a 6:30pm start. The emphasis of the training is on shorter repetitions and speed endurance.
These mixed sessions are open to everyone of any ability - from
