HHRC Training for 2026

We normally hold three running specific training sessions per week and then two a strength for running sessions.

On Monday we have a social run of around 3 to 6 miles, depending on how far you want to run for beginners and people returning to running then on a Tuesday we have a 5 to 6 mile social run, sometimes to find a trig point on a local hill Thursday we have a our structured training session which is suitable for all abilities.

The strength for running training session is done in association with Q-Fitness in Dumfries on a Wednesday and Friday nights. The session is a specialized session working on the key muscle groups involved in running to aid not only running performance but injury prevention. This is led by one of the Q-Fitness qualified strength coaches. There is a £5 per session cost to this, all other training sessions are free to all.
