Group Runs

Thursday Intervals

2025-05-01

18:00 - 19:00

LOCATION: THE FREEDOM TREE, ST HELIER This is a 60 minute coached session suitable for runners of all abilities, focused on building strength, stamina, power and speed through interval-based training. Basically, they can help you to improve your running. The session is lead by fully-qualified run coaches Dan, George and/or Rik and the 60 minutes includes a thorough warm up consisting of easy running, mobilisation work, dynamic stretching, drills and strides. This warm up also focuses on improving various aspects of your run technique, biomechanics and efficiency. Not only will interval training improve your performance at all distances but it’s a really fun and social way to train. Anyone and everyone can benefit from interval-training regardless of experience level or goals and the coaches are always on hand to answer any questions. The main set is usually interval-based, meaning that there is some faster-paced running for a set time or distance, interspersed with recovery which is either easy jogging, walking or standing. The aim of each interval session is to improve a certain aspect of our physiology, such as our pace at Lactate Threshold, Vo2 Max or increase our Running Economy and Neuromuscular Efficiency. (Don't worry if you don't know what all that means!) Your first interval session is free and all subsequent sessions are £5, unless you are a member of the Rock n Road Runners run club.

This is to avoid just running up a big hill and then turning around at the top and running back down)   As always, this group will be supported with a dedicated group leader and tail runner so no one will ever be left behind. The aim is always for a chatty pace but we appreciate that what this means varys from person to person so please run at a pace you are comfortable with.   The group is open to runners of ALL experience levels and abilities. So whether you’re looking for some company on your long run, you’ve just started running or you’re looking for some motivation to run longer, this might be the group for you. Remember, if you run, you are a runner. We suggest that runners bring the following with them: running shoes, charged mobile phone with What3Words app, nutrition & hydration as required and weather-appropriate clothing. We do not mark the route so if you are concerned about getting lost, we suggest either downloading or familiarising yourself with the Strava route in the course description below or sticking with someone who knows the route and/or a tail walker/lead runner.
