Event Type : Regular Club Runs for Members

Meet at the Mowlem, unless we are at a race or having one of our ‘Out and About’ meetings (check the calendar). Runs leave at 9am so arrive in plenty of time.

Sunday is our ‘long run’ day and we will usually do a minimum of six miles and often do a lot more! Therefore please don’t choose Sunday for your first club run if you aren’t confident that you can cover that distance. There are normally opportunities to cut back if you don’t want to run as far as the planned session that day. If you are not up to six miles yet, you are still, of course, very welcome to try the club on a Saturday or a Wednesday.

After the runs we meet in Fortes for a chat and a coffee. In the summer we often go for a paddle after our stretch and before our coffee….beats an iced bath any day!

The Sunday session is run at a sociable pace and nobody gets left behind. It’s very friendly and lots of fun. It’s always a good idea to check what’s available each week via the Forum.

On Wednesday evenings we meet at Beach Gardens Pavillon at 7pm with Announcements and ‘warm-up’ at 7.05pm.

We have a number of different groups available to suit all abilities. You are free to dip in and out of the groups as necessary, for example if you are recovering from a race or perhaps injury you may need to drop down from your usual group for an easier run.

If it is your first time at the club, and you are unsure which group to run in it is recommended that you start in a group that you could comfortably run in and work your way up. If you are in any doubt or need more information then please come and speak to Paula Lawton-Archer (Club Chair and Coach) who will assist you with finding the right group. Please allow plenty of time for this if it’s your first time.

Below are more details about the available groups:

Beginners Group

This group generally train at between 12 and 13 mpm. Rgrouping and looping back ensure the group keeps together and allows the stronger runners to push on a little quicker.

Intermediate 65 (approx 65min 10k pace)- Currently led by Sarah or Rab

Training runs at between 10 and 11 mpm. Regrouping and looping back are regularly used and on occasions elements of training are incorporated.

Intermediate 55 (approx 55 min 10k pace) – Currently led by Tish or Abi

Training runs between 9 and 10 mpm with a mixture of road and trail running, regrouping/ looping when necessary.

Intermediate 50 (approx 50 min 10k pace) – currently led by Barbara

This group vary their sessions – sometimes road/trail runs, sometimes training session.

Advanced Group – Currently led by Ross

Training runs between 6 and 7 mpm and regularly includes a strong training element.

Meet at the Mowlem, unless we are at a race or having one of our ‘Out and About’ meetings (check the calendar). Runs leave at 9am so arrive in plenty of time.

Sunday is our ‘long run’ day and we will usually do a minimum of six miles and often do a lot more! Therefore please don’t choose Sunday for your first club run if you aren’t confident that you can cover that distance. There are normally opportunities to cut back if you don’t want to run as far as the planned session that day. If you are not up to six miles yet, you are still, of course, very welcome to try the club on a Saturday or a Wednesday.

After the runs we meet in Fortes for a chat and a coffee. In the summer we often go for a paddle after our stretch and before our coffee….beats an iced bath any day!

The Sunday session is run at a sociable pace and nobody gets left behind. It’s very friendly and lots of fun. It’s always a good idea to check what’s available each week via the Forum.

On Wednesday evenings we meet at Beach Gardens Pavillon at 7pm with Announcements and ‘warm-up’ at 7.05pm.

We have a number of different groups available to suit all abilities. You are free to dip in and out of the groups as necessary, for example if you are recovering from a race or perhaps injury you may need to drop down from your usual group for an easier run.

If it is your first time at the club, and you are unsure which group to run in it is recommended that you start in a group that you could comfortably run in and work your way up. If you are in any doubt or need more information then please come and speak to Paula Lawton-Archer (Club Chair and Coach) who will assist you with finding the right group. Please allow plenty of time for this if it’s your first time.

Below are more details about the available groups:

Beginners Group

This group is put together as and when needed and run by volunteers within the club on a rota basis. The group consists of a leader and backmarker each week – so nobody needs to worry about getting left behind.
If it is your first time coming to Purbeck Runners and you are new to running, please contact the club ahead of time if at all possible so we can plan for someone to run with you.

Social Group

This group is ideal for those wanting a ‘no pressure’ run or perhaps returning from injury. Enjoyment is the main focus here. The group runs at a very steady pace depending on the needs of the group on any particular week.
