WHERE ARE WE HEADED?
Check out your monthly Route Plan in club, with meet times and locations of where your Run Club instructor will meet you, to get you started.
If you find a route you love, re-run it in club by accessing the route via your MyWellness account when you jump on the treadmill.
TRACK IT
Track your progress and save your run by joining our Strava Group.
Strava is a game-changer for tracking your runs. It gives you all the stats you need – pace, distance, and time – but it’s not just that. You can compare your performances over time, set goals, and even compete on segments with other runners. You can also share your achievements, cheer on your mates, and get a bit of friendly rivalry going. It’ll keep you motivated and push you to go further, faster, and harder. Perfect for anyone who’s serious about improving!
TECHNOGYM SESSIONS
Unlock what you’re really capable of as a runner by finding the right motivation. If you're in need of a change of scenery, check out the Technogym Sessions built into the treadmills in club.
You can opt for a classic run sesh, or have a go at an outdoor trail or scenic landscape and take those outdoor runs indoors! Don’t forget to stay on track with your TrainingPeaks plan – it'll help keep you focused and smashing your goals, no problem!
Check your club notice board for this month's latest Technogym Session to try.
WHAT TO BRING
- Water (stay hydrated!)
- £2, light to carry though enough in case you need to stop off to buy water along the way.
- Hair ties (if the wind picks up, you don'yt want those locks blocking your view of the roads)
- Sunnies (if it's bright out, pop a pair of sunglasses on to prevent the glare affecting your vision)
- Fitness tracker - use the Technogym Outdoor tracker to view your progress within the Village Gym app. It'll track your heart rate, route and allow you to re-run that same route on a treadmill back in club.
START TO STRIDE
Not a runner? Good. Start here.
Start to Stride is a 12-week beginner run programme built for real people who want to get fitter but don’t see themselves in traditional run clubs. No ego, no pressure, no “keep up or get left behind” energy, just smart, progressive training that works.
You’ll start with simple run/walk intervals and steadily build towards continuous running, developing fitness, resilience and confidence week by week. Every session is structured, coached and achievable, so you always know what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
The aim is straightforward: take you from walking to running, and get you across your first 5K feeling strong and in control.
