Our main club training nights are every Tuesday and Thursday evening.
We meet 6pm at our clubhouse and usually start training around 6:15pm following club announcements. Training is usually finished by 7:30pm but occasionally overruns depending on the session.
Tuesdays: Speedwork
Every Tuesday we have speedwork training. We head out in groups of all abilities to various areas surrounding the club to do a warm-up run followed by speedwork training. Each speedwork training session is different every week and we operate an 8 week cycle which ends with our club 5k time trial.
Starts: 6:15pm at Port Talbot Harriers, Fenbrook Close, Port Talbot, SA12 7PA (our clubhouse is next to Port Talbot Cricket Club within the cricket club grounds)
Thursdays: Tempo Run
Every Thursday we do an out-and-back tempo run towards either the beach or the quays. For this run the whole club runs together. We set a time (for example, 40 minutes) and you run for half the time (20 mins) then turn back to run to the starting point. You can either use this tempo run to improve your time or simply run it at your own pace.
Starts: 6:15pm at Port Talbot Harriers, Fenbrook Close, Port Talbot, SA12 7PA (our clubhouse is next to Port Talbot Cricket Club within the cricket club grounds)
Additional Training
Many of our members organise additional training runs throughout the week including recovery runs, long runs, trail runs and more. Feel free to ask in training each week if anything is arranged.
Please be aware these runs are not definite every week.
Parkrun
Parkrun is a popular 5k run organised across the world in many cities and towns every Saturday at 9am (race start). Many of our club members run Parkruns every week. Local ones include Swansea Bay Parkrun, Gnoll Parkrun, Porthcawl Parkrun, Maesteg Parkrun and Llanelli Coast Parkrun.
Keep an eye out on our Facebook groups to see who is doing a Parkrun this week.
