Running Club
Long Runs
Long runs are done to improve our cardiovascular system by training the body to supply more oxygen to the working muscles. They must be done at a comfortable pace.
Sport Shack athletes do their long runs on Monday.
Speed Work
Speed work helps build strength in the muscles that help to powerfully propel the body forward. They also help build the anaerobic system so you learn to run with oxygen debt.
​
Sport Shack athletes do their long runs on Thursday.
Hill Training
Hill Training is a form of resistance training that helps build strength in the body. Running uphill also improves form.
​
Only advanced Sport Shack athletes do hill training on Saturday.
Strength and Functional
Running efficiently requires good form. Strength training is the basis of having a good running form.
​
Functional training helps in improving balance and leg turnover.
​
Sport Shack athletes do strength work on Tuesday and Thursday.
Time Trial
Call us to set up a 1 km time-trial at any one of our locations so we get a good benchmark to work on. The time trial can be a walk, jog, or an all out run. We just need the best 1 km you can do.
