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 ‘one lap’ in Olney or Emberton Park. Some members end sessions with refreshments in one of the local pubs!
Track sessions – every other Monday, 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. If you're new to track, check out the 'Runners Guide to Track' below.
Social runs – every Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Our social runs offer pace of chat runs, between them they offer something for all abilities and cover a range of distances - many of them, most importantly, finish up with refreshments in a café!
Strength & Stretch – every Tuesday, 5.45-6.45pm
A low-impact session designed to help runners of all abilities move better, feel stronger, and stay injury-free. Expect guided stretching, functional movement, and strength exercises tailored to support your running goals.
