Manchester Training Night October 2026

Join us for a free coach-led training night at Longford Park Stadium on Tuesday 27th October 2026, delivered by our experienced RunThrough Coaches.

This structured track session combines aerobic strength with race-specific speed, helping you build confidence, improve running efficiency and develop the skills to perform strongly across 5K and 10K distances.

Alongside the main session, our coaches will share practical insights into endurance training and effective pacing, with guided running drills designed to improve movement, running mechanics and overall efficiency.

Purpose of the session:

To build marathon-specific efficiency and durability by alternating between running above marathon pace and backing off to a controlled effort. This teaches you to manage pace, recover while running, and understand why starting a marathon too hard can quickly lead to fatigue.

Session outline:

30 Minutes of 3 Min On, 3 Min Float

The why:

Understanding how different paces feel helps you recognise and control your marathon effort. Building durability through changes in pace prepares the body to handle fatigue and maintain efficient running over longer distances.
