FRC currently train together three times a week. We run from Everyone Active Fareham Leisure Centre every Tuesday and Thursday, and a different local meeting point each Wednesday.
Meeting Place
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we meet outside the main entrance doors to the Leisure Centre. Please help us keep a clear pathway for those people looking to go to and from the building.
Please don’t forget to wear brightly coloured clothing, especially hi-viz during the winter months, for safety.
Tuesday Sessions: 19:00 – 20:15
This is our BIG training night, with sometimes up to 100 runners taking part.
It’s fully open to a range of abilities. We cater for everyone and a majority of paces, from people who run 7 mins per mile or quicker, to those who run steadier than 11 mins per mile.
We have over two dozen qualified run leaders with sessions varying from week to week, with speedwork, hill work, and tempo runs all available to choose from.
In order to join the majority of these sessions we ask that you can already run a 5K within 40 minutes. If you’re currently steadier than this, you’re still welcome to our monthly New Starters Nights and a variety of other sessions that can safely accommodate your pace – more details can be found in our members only Facebook Group. Can’t run 5k yet? Have a look at our C25K programme which is run 1-2 times a year.
Wednesday Sessions: 19:00 – 20:00
This is our easy & social running night! An opportunity for you to run with your friends and team mates in a much less structured way to our structured Tuesdays and Tempo Thursdays. The routes are always planned for easy navigation, enabling those that wish to run ahead to do so before looping back to regroup. As with all our runs at FRC, nobody ever gets left behind, and there will always be a Leader to run with if you prefer.
Wednesday sessions are also the perfect opportunity to explore more of the local area! Each week our runs will start from a different location, all within a 10-minute drive of Fareham Leisure Centre. We don’t run from FLC on Wednesdays. The run location for each week can be found in our members-only Facebook Group.
These sessions are perfect as a recovery run in between our established Tuesday and Thursday club nights. They’re also ideal for those of you that are in the middle of a marathon training block and want some company on your midweek runs!
Thursday Sessions: 19:00 – 20:00
This is our weekly tempo session, aimed at the more seasoned runner who can run continuously for an hour.
Thursday night run groups tend to be larger & more communal. We have 3-4 different pace groups with the aim being to improve your speed endurance. To join us we ask that you can run 5 miles or more comfortably within an hour, and for your safety, we always loop back at regular intervals to ensure that nobody is ever left behind.
You will normally be able to find out details of the groups in advance in our members-only Facebook Group.
