Running

Coached run sessions

Tuesdays (speed endurance): Meet at 19:00 at Belgrave Hall on Denmark Rd, Wimbledon, London SW19 4PG. After signing in, we aim to start running soon after 19:00, returning at approximately 20:30. We try to separate runners by pace. Typical distance is 4-8 miles, depending on pace group and session type. In winter evenings we run on the roads, rather than on Wimbledon Common, so please wear high visibility clothing.

Tuesdays (PROtraining): Meet at 19:00 at Parkside Gardens. The Intervals are prescribed individually by the coach, according to the athlete’s targets. 

Wednesdays (fartlek): In the summer months we meet in Richmond Park for a traditional speed play session. Depending on the participants we may split into pace groups.

Thursdays (hills and other training): See Tuesday arrangements.

Saturdays (Wimbledon Park athletics track), Home Park Road SW19 8AU: 10:00 – 11:30. Session plans are posted on the club calendar at windmilers.org.uk/calendar. The club pays an annual subscription to fund all Windmilers’ track fees. Afterwards, runners often head to the park café.

Sundays (coach-led 3, 5 or 7-mile social runs): We meet at 09:30 at the Wimbledon Windmill SW19 5NR, returning between 10:30 – 11:30. The run at an easy pace, with the faster runners looping back so the group stays together. Suitable for those who can run the whole distance, with occasional stops to regroup. Afterwards, runners meet at the Windmill Tea Rooms.
