Training & Pace Groups

Wednesday club nights are the spine of the week. We sort everyone into pace groups so nobody runs alone and nobody feels off the back. You can move between groups as you progress.

Find your pace

Nine groups, walk-jog through to sub-7. Pick the one that feels right; you can always swap if it isn't.

More than Wednesdays

Couch to 5K

The first stage of the Running Journey — a coached walk-jog progression for people who've never run, those returning after a break, or anyone wanting to start from zero. See the home page for the full Journey.

Interval & hill sessions

Technical, interval, and hill sessions run through the week alongside club nights. Sessions are effort-based, so everyone works at their own level — ask at a club night or check the member app for what's on.

Sunday long runs

Member-organised through the club app — the backbone of our half and full marathon training plans, and a sociable way to get the longer miles in. Distances and paces vary week to week.

Local parkruns

Worcester, Malvern Hills, Cofton, Arrow Valley — many of our members are parkrun regulars. We're not officially affiliated, but you'll often find us at most local events on a Saturday morning.

Written training plans

Working toward a half or full marathon? The Running Journey pairs you with mentors and group training — and if you want a week-by-week written plan alongside it, many of our members train from Hal Higdon’s half marathon plans and marathon plans — free on his official site. Ask at a club night and someone will help you pick the right one.
