More Info & Useful Stuff

Wednesdays & Fridays

Tewkesbury AC meet up on a Wednesday night at 18:45 at Tewkesbury Rugby Club (round the back of the Abbey). All are welcome to come along; we have a complete range of abilities, from 1:15 Half Marathon runners to 10 min mile pace fun runners, there will always be someone to run with and chat to. The general rule is to come along 2-3 times, if you enjoy it then you can join the club for a small fee, but if you find it is not for you then that is fine also.

We also have a Friday Speed & Technique session which starts at 18:30, this is held at Tewkesbury School throughout the summer until it gets to dark, at which point we move over to the Prince of Wales Track in Cheltenham (floodlit). This Friday session is good for learning how to run correctly and includes a gentle warm up, some leg exercises followed by interval running and a stretch to finish.

These Friday sessions are ideal if you are not sure about joining a running club, and you want to get a feel for your own pace / speed. You run at your own abiliity and there is no pressure to compete with anyone (unless you want too!!). And as we are on a School Field / Track, you cannot get left behind either.
