All training sessions are supervised by one of our qualified and highly experienced coaches. If you have any questions with regards your training needs and running aspirations please do not hesitate to speak to a member of our friendly coaching staff. You are quite welcome to try out our training sessions but please get in touch with the club first and remember that you must wear high visibility clothing at all times, this includes any under garments if you take off your running top. If you fail to wear high visibility clothing then unfortunately you will not be allowed to take part in the training session. Groups

Regular Club Training Sessions

We cater for a range of abilities in our regular training sessions, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. So if you are new to running or returning after a lapse or injury, have a basic level of fitness and are happy jogging continuously for around 45 minutes, do come along and talk to one of the coaches about how you could start to benefit from training.

Couch to 5K – No sessions currently

In previous years we have run Couch to 5k training sessions.

Social Runs

In addition to the regular training sessions, occasional social runs in various locations are organised. This is an excellent opportunity to find a running buddy and, if you are preparing for a more challenging distance, start clocking up the miles. As with the regular sessions, members will be able to sign up via our group on the the sports management app ‘Spond’.

Parkrun

These events usually take place in pleasant parkland surroundings and Teesdale Athletic Club actively encourages its members of every ability to take part; from those taking their first steps in running to our more experienced athletes. They are a great way to monitor fitness levels and progress with training. More information about Parkrun in the UK can be found here.

Strength and Conditioning (Currently not Active)

Core training focuses on three areas: core mobility, core stability and core strength. Each of these plays an important role in the health, support and function of your body and so achieving a balance between them is vital.

The starting point of the process lies in learning how to activate, strengthen and control the muscles or your pelvic floor. Teesdale Athletic Club in partnership with Barnard Castle School provide occasional Strength and Conditioning group sessions during the year.
