LOCATION: THE FREEDOM TREE, ST HELIER This is a 60 minute coached session suitable for runners of all abilities, focused on building strength, stamina, power and speed through interval-based training. Basically, they can help you to improve your running. The session is lead by fully-qualified run coaches Dan, George and/or Rik and the 60 minutes includes a thorough warm up consisting of easy running, mobilisation work, dynamic stretching, drills and strides. This warm up also focuses on improving various aspects of your run technique, biomechanics and efficiency. Not only will interval training improve your performance at all distances but it’s a really fun and social way to train. Anyone and everyone can benefit from interval-training regardless of experience level or goals and the coaches are always on hand to answer any questions. The main set is usually interval-based, meaning that there is some faster-paced running for a set time or distance, interspersed with recovery which is either easy jogging, walking or standing. The aim of each interval session is to improve a certain aspect of our physiology, such as our pace at Lactate Threshold, Vo2 Max or increase our Running Economy and Neuromuscular Efficiency. (Don't worry if you don't know what all that means!) Your first interval session is free and all subsequent sessions are £5, unless you are a member of the Rock n Road Runners run club.

Rock n Road Runners Sunday Road Run – Marathon Special – St Aubins to St Marys Church (Out & Back)

2025-04-27

08:00 - 09:30

London Marathon Special    The Rock n Road Runners run club free weekly group road run takes place every Sunday along the more quiet, picturesque streets, alleys, roads, lanes and byways of Jersey.   This week, the Old Court House has very kindly agreed to host us for a post run “London Marathon Watch Brekkie” from 9am. Everyone is welcome to come and support the runners but please let us know if you’re going to join for coffee and/or breakfast ASAP so we can confirm numbers for food. . – [email protected]   IMPORTANT: Our Sunday run will be starting at the earlier time of 8am so we can see more of the race.   As usual, there will be 2 inclusive groups to choose from.   Group 1 is a maximum of 90mins on an ‘Out & Back’ (45mins out / 45mins back) route.   Group 2 is a maximum of 50 mins and is also an’Out & Back’ (25 mins out / 25 mins back) route. This is an ideal group for those who have either just started running and are looking at going further (such as Couch to 5k graduates) or for anyone who wants/needs to run a shorter session than 90 minutes.   Both sessions will be supported with a dedicated group leader and tail runner so no one will ever be left behind. The aim is always for a chatty pace but we appreciate that what this means varys from person to person so please run at a pace you are comfortable with.   Both groups are open to runners of ALL abilities. So whether you’re looking for some company on your long run, you’ve just started running or you’re looking for some motivation to run longer, come join us. Remember, if you run, you are a runner. We suggest that runners bring the following with them: running shoes, charged mobile phone with What3Words app, nutrition & hydration as required and weather-appropriate clothing. We do not mark the route so if you are concerned about getting lost, we suggest either downloading or familiarising yourself with the Strava route in the course description below or sticking with someone who knows the route or the tail runner/lead runner.   If you are unsure about any of the above either drop by the shop in Liberty Wharf or email the club – [email protected]   Looking forward to having you join!
