Saxons Club Nights

We welcome you to join us on either or both of our Club Nights at Carlton Park Sports Pavilion.

Tuesdays 6.45 – 7.45pm

Led by a qualified coach we form three groups of beginner, intermediate and advanced runners and we take part in training activities such as hill training, interval training and running drills. We encourage everyone to work at their own pace whatever group they are in.

In the winter months we tend to run on the pavements around Saxmundham where there are street lights. Runners are advised to bring high visibility clothing and a torch.

As the evenings grow lighter we have the use of the 23 acre Carlton Park Sports Field for our training sessions. Warm ups and cool downs take place in the hall or on the field at the Sports Ground.

Thursdays 6.45 – 7.45pm

We believe that doing a variety of fitness exercises makes for a stronger runner and on Thursday’s we hold fitness and circuit training sessions in the hall at the Sports Ground.

Led by a coach the strength training includes the use of weights, kettlebells and gym equipment for core exercises. Members bring their own mat to the fun and friendly sessions.  

We also have a group of runners who go out on an informal Club Run on Thursday nights.

Coaches are on hand to offer training advice and motivational tips as and when needed at both of our club nights so don’t be afraid to ask for help.

“I would like to thank all of the coaches at Saxmundham Running & Fitness Club for their coaching since I started on this journey. I’d heard the amazing stories about the London Marathon and it was all true. Special thanks to coach Ann Granger for providing me with my marathon running and nutrition plans. I achieved my time of 3 hrs 35. Thank you all for your support.” Simon Pryke
