Hardley Runners Training Schedules

Beginners

Christine Harris organises a session on Tuesday mornings that is suitable for those new to running. This group meets outside Applemore Health & Leisure Centre every Tuesday at 9.15am for a 9.30am start. The sessions have been set up for those who feel daunted about joining a running club or those who are unsure about where or how to start. Our aim is to help new and inexperienced runners achieve their running goals - whether that be weight loss, increased fitness, running their first race or simply progressing from walking to jogging.

The sessions are free of charge and everyone is welcome - no one will be too slow or left behind!

Plyometric Taster Session - 30 January at 7.30

Chris Harris writes, "Plyometrics is a type of exercise training designed to produce fast, powerful movements and improve the functions of the nervous system, generally for the purpose of improving athletic performance.

A Pylometric taster session by Mr. Eric Little has been organized for January 30th, 7.30 to 9pm in the Studio at Applemore Recreation Centre. This will be a practical session, a tracksuit is ideal. The maximum the studio can hold is 30 people, so pleases contact Chris Harris (contact info above) by January 26th if you would like to come along.

I hope to see you there."

Safety- Hi Vis and Reflective kit

UK Athletics has advised that Hardley's Third Party Liability insurance could be invalidated if an accident was caused during a nightime club training session by one of our runners not wearing high visibility clothing.
For future training sessions it will be COMPULSORY for all runners to wear high visibility bibs if they wish to join the Hardley groups. Bibs can be purchased from the Hardley kit store and there are 'club' bibs which can be borrowed if you have forgotten your own. Or you can get a suitable bib from Amazon for only £5.99 including delivery.
If you are also running (or cycling) on public roads by yourself you are advised to protect yourself and others by wearing a high vis bib.
Most proprietary running clothes do not have enough retro-reflective material for adequate safety.
Be safe - be seen!

Tuesday and Thursday Evenings

Members meet regularly every Tuesday and Thursday evening outside Applemore Recreation Centre for structured training sessions. In the summer months we train in the New Forest and during the winter we use the local roads around Hythe and Dibden Purlieu.

Please be ready to run at 6.30pm.

New runners are welcome to just turn up and try us out before joining the club. Please feel free to contact us with any questions beforehand.
