RTW runners

RTW runners is a running group which is open to people of all abilities. The group is led by Joe watts, who is an England Athletics qualified & insured Coach in Running Fitness and Personal Trainer and supported by Claire Henry, a qualified Leader in Running Fitness. 

Joe’s aim is to get the best out of anyone who would like to improve their running, whether it be their technique, speed, frequency or if you just want to run with other like-minded people. So, whether you’re a first timer, returning from injury or you want to improve your fitness & endurance come along to one of our sessions and you'll be in safe hands.

Monday night 'all abilities' sessions are tailored for the individuals who are attending and no one gets left behind with runners allocated into groups based on ability. The variety of sessions include - reps, fartlek (speed play), hills and parlauf (continuous relays) with active jog/walk recovery between efforts.

In the Spring and Summer months these sessions take place on playing fields. In the Autumn and Winter months the sessions take place on quiet, local roads (a hi visabilty and reflective vest is compulsory on evening runs).

Sunday morning "zero to 30" beginner sessions are suitable for those who have little or no experience of running or for people returning from injury/illness and who would like to gradually improve their fitness over time. We run these as an 8 week beginner plan which takes people from walking and gradually builds them up to jogging and eventually continuous running for 30 minutes by the end of the plan. Please contact us for details of when the next beginner group is due to commence.

From October 2018 we are now also offering two new group sessions on Monday and Wednesday mornings, immediately after the school drop off.

These sessions are led by Claire Henry and are ideal for those who have some running experience and are looking to improve their fitness in a fun, social environment. Monday's session will be a general run, covering different routes around the local area. Wednesday's session will include some games and exercises designed to improve speed and strength.
