Our Sessions

  • All our sessions cater for all abilities, including those new-to-running.
  • Each coached session is led by one (or two) England Athletics qualified Run Leaders from our great coaching team.
  • Members and Run Leaders use the Spond app to plan for, sign up to, and register at training sessions. Members are linked to Olney Runners Spond sessions when they join the club. Spond is free and very easy to use.

Club night group sessions – every Wednesday, 7-8pm

Meeting in Olney Market Place, members train on the pavements, parks, roads and (when we can) cross-country paths around Olney. Five separate groups are organised by typical running pace, each group led by a group Run Leader. A session might focus on speed endurance, speed work, hill work, fartlek, race technique, pyramids or other activities, and occasionally run a ‘hot lap’ of Olney. Some members end sessions with refreshments in one of the local pubs!

Track sessions – first and third Monday of each month, 7-8pm

Meeting at Stantonbury Track in Milton Keynes, members train with laps/distances in mind – a chance for everyone to pace and push themselves against the clock. Sessions focus on everything from short sprints to speed endurance, with repetitions and recovery. 

Social runs – every Monday and Friday, 9am

Meeting in Olney, a completely mixed ability group running approximately 5-8 km at ‘the pace of chat’ and finishing with refreshments in a café!

HIIT for Runners sessions – every Friday, 6.30-7.30pm

Usually meeting in Emberton Park, members focus on running fitness and form through High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) - a series of strength, stability, suppleness, aerobic and yoga-based exercises, with some great music! This leads to stronger and more efficient running, and aids injury prevention.
