Gateshead Training Night July 2026

Join us for the Gateshead Training Night on Friday 3rd July 2026 at Gateshead International Stadium.

This free coach-led session, delivered by the RunThrough Coaching team, combines a structured track workout with practical coaching insights to help runners better understand pacing, training intensity and endurance development. Whether you're preparing for your next race, targeting a new PB or looking to add a quality session to your training week, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn from experienced coaches in a supportive group environment.

The session is designed to help runners develop a better understanding of different training zones by progressing through a series of efforts that gradually increase in intensity, starting at Half Marathon pace and building beyond 5K effort. Runners will complete a structured session of 6 minutes, 5 minutes, 4 minutes and 3 minutes, with 90 seconds recovery between each effort, allowing them to experience and recognise a range of race and training intensities.

Alongside the track session, participants will take part in guided running drills aimed at improving running mechanics, movement efficiency and confidence in applying new skills. These practical exercises are designed to support stronger running performance while helping athletes become more aware of how different intensities feel during training and racing.

This session provides an excellent introduction to understanding training zones and prescribed efforts, offering valuable insights that can be applied to future training plans and race preparation.

Whether you're an experienced runner or just beginning your running journey, the Gateshead Training Night offers expert coaching, a welcoming atmosphere and the opportunity to train alongside the North East running community.
