Gateshead Training Night - November 2026

A coach-led training night delivered by our experienced Runthrough Coaches featuring a structured track session alongside practical insights into the key principles of endurance training.

Participants will also take part in guided running-drill sessions designed to develop confidence in learning and applying new movement skills. These drills aim to improve running mechanics, enhance efficiency and ultimately support stronger running performance.

Purpose of the session:

To build aerobic strength through progressively faster efforts without reaching VO₂max intensity. The longer reps develop sustained aerobic strength, the medium length reps increase intensity while maintaining control, and the shorter reps introduce faster running without excessive fatigue. The jog recoveries keep you moving throughout, building resistance to fatigue and improving your ability to maintain effort over longer distances.

Session outline:

2 sets of:

6 Min 10k effort (90 sec jog)

3 min faster than 10k effort (45 sec jog)

1.5 min 5k effort (2 minutes standing recovery)
