FAQs
Who is this for?
This group consists of runners of any age and any ability who run recreationally. We have beginner 5km Parkrunners through to the occasional 100km Ultramarathoners with all distances and speeds in between. We have a lot of runners who enjoy entering the various "fun runs" in distances between the 10km and Marathon. The best thing about this group is the camaraderie; great people who enjoy pushing themselves and supporting each other. Regardless of your ability you will be challenged by this crew!
What do the "sessions" look like?
Typically each session is divided in to three parts - warm up, main set and cool down. For the warm up the group covers around 2km at an easy pace then does running drills to work on running technique/form. The main set involves some faster running consisting of either Intervals, Fartlek or Tempo running. We cater this section to each runners ability with the range being from 3-6km. For the Cool Down we head back to our starting point. This is a similar pace (easy) to the warm up and is usually around 2km taking the total for the session from 7km to 10km (depending on ability). Some runners who are looking to cover a little more distance per session can either complete some extra running before the sessions starts or at the end.
At Tuesday's Main Beach session we also have a "B Squad" which does less running and at a slower pace than the typical run session. This is perfect for those who prefer a more leisurely pace for their runs or who are coming back from a lay off.
The free easy runs are typically a straightforward run at a pace that each runner is comfortable with and it is in a group setting to get to know other people and also to support and encourage each other. These runs are perfect for those who need an easy midweek run with a regular crew or those getting in to a regular running routine and who would like some easy runs to build fitness.

What about the weather/if it is raining?
We'll run regardless of the weather and we are yet to cancel a run session due to the weather (the strength session will be cancelled). If it's real bad, we'll notify everyone of the cancellation via our Insta/Facebook pages and we'll head to the local cafe for a coffee instead!
