HOW IT WORKS

OUR APPROACH - DISTANCE & PACE GROUPS

Our clinics operate on a walk/run program, as this has been proven to be one of the most effective ways of not only learning to run, but managing long distances because of the consistent recovery time you give your body.

At RUNCLUB, we have three different distance groups, that each have two pace groups, to ensure that there is a perfect match for you for both where you are at, and where you want to be with your running.

If you have never been before, we encourage you to come and check out RUNCLUB and find your perfect fit before signing up. But don't worry, if you sign up before knowing where you fit, or if you find even part way through a clinic that you need to either scale back or be pushed a little harder, you can always change groups. They aren't set in stone and we always want you to come, enjoy and leave RUNCLUB with a smile on your face. If it's not FUN, then we aren't doing something right!

So, with all that said, here are our Distance and Pace groups a little descriptor to help you understand who they fit:

WALKING/POWER-WALKING GROUP

This group is typically made up of those who are recovering from, or managing, an injury and those that simply need to take it easy during a given RUNClub session. It is also the perfect group if you are brand new or returning to fitness as it gives you a gentle way to begin improving your cardio. Gentle walking gradually increases to power-walking throughout the clinic. An introduction to running is also available through this group.

Clinic Intervals:
Starts: Walk 5 minutes / Power-Walk 1 minute (or continue gentle recovery walking if needed)
Ends: Walk 2 minute / Power-Walk 5 minutes (or continue gentle recovery walking if needed)
