Wednesday Night Runs
Bat’s meet on a Wednesday night, in Trinity Hall Bere Alston where there are the choice of Couch to 5K / Beginners session, a coached session and a Group run, so there is something for ALL abilities.
Beginners
Bat’s welcome complete beginners into the club at anytime of the year as well as those who are returning after a break and / or injury – please speak to our coaches who have a wealth of experience and information they are happy to share with you. We have your running at the heart of what we do and will do what we can to get you running, keep you running and help with your technique.
Here is our base beginners programme which is based on the NHS’s Couch to 5K programme:
The coaches will adjust the programme based upon individual abilities.
Running and Pregnancy
Always check with your doctor and / or midwife before continuing or starting running.

Training Schedules
Bat’s are always training for a race. Here are some of the schedules we will be following (please note, you do not have to do every session, tailor the schedule(s) to suit your own personal circumstances – the long run is the essential one): If you are training for a marathon allow at least six months training preferably 12. The better the training the better result!
