Training Sessions - Winter

We are in our Winter Training, working on base strength & stamina so that we emerge in the spring ready to work on speed.  We welcome all abilities and always run in groups so no one gets left behind. 

On Saturdays we host the Newport parkrun at 9am at Tredegar House

On Sundays we meet at Sainsburys Newport at 9am

On Mondays NEWT meet at Newport Stadium at 6:45pm

On Tuesdays we meet at the Civic Centre, Newport at 6:30pm - 6:45pm.

On Wednesdays we meet at Newport Tennis Centre at 6:30 pm.

For locations see When & Where We Meet

The following are the planned sessions:

February is hills month; hills, hills & more hills!  

As part of the build up to spring marathons, half marathons & 10ks, our training focus turns to hills to develop strength & stamina.
