HHRC Training for 2025

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

On Monday we have a social run of around 3 to 6 miles, depending on how far you want to run then on a Thursday we have a 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 night.  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.
