*** The Race with Striders groups are suspended at this time but we hope they will return in the future. We have left the documents below to give you an idea of what to expect ***

What is Race with Striders?

Firstly, this is different to Run with Striders. For more information about Run with Striders click here.

Race with Striders is for existing members who want to have a bit more structure and variety to their training. We now have three different pace groups that should cater for everyone in the club. Throughout the year we will have several training blocks for each group.

The training blocks have been put together by our coaches and include a variety of sessions to help you improve different aspects of your running and hopefully lead to some PB's.

By running with a smaller group of similar pace runners who will hopefully find that you will push each other that little bit more.

During each training block each group will also have social meet up after one or two of the sessions.

You don't have to sign up or attend every session. Feel free to dip in and out of sessions and run with different groups. However you will get more out of the training block the more sessions you do. Also if you can't make a training night you could also try doing your own run to match the training schedule. It's up to you!
