Thursday training

Thursday club runs start from Heswall Squash Racquets Club, Brimstage Road, Wirral, CH60 1YL at 7.00pm. We leave promptly – please arrive in plenty of time to hear about the routes on offer and ensure that you’re not running alone!

Thursday evening training aims to complement the sessions offered on a Tuesday and a Sunday and provide some further structure to training.

These runs are usually interval focussed, often involving laps in a contained area so that runners of all standards can participate. The programme may be structured towards preparing runners for a particular event, such as the Four Villages Half Marathon in January which can attract a large entry from the club. Subject to run leader availability, we also endeavour to offer a relaxed social run as an alternative.

Once a month during the summer, usually the day before our monthly track session, we hold a pub social run instead of interval training

Track sessions

Once a month on a Friday evening we undertake track sessions at Ellesmere Port running track.

The club pays for the session which is therefore free to Pensby Runners members. These are organised group sessions led by a coach and run from 7:30 to 8:30 pm.

Track sessions are an excellent way of mixing things up and building speed. Each session will include a comprehensive warm up to reduce the risk of injury.

Remember, hill sessions are a warm up to track sessions so the best preparation for track is to go to a few Tuesday hill sessions first.
