Run Club is Free and always will be!
Join the above Facebook group to stay in the know about what we are doing and where we will be.
Welcome to another season of Run Club. As we enter our 6th year of Run Club I am excited to see everyone and help people reach their goals.
Frontrunner Colombo (owned by me, Oska) is Christchurch’s (and New Zealand’s) Running Specialty Store. Doing everything we can to have the best products, staff, and knowledge we can to help everyone achieve their goals.
TeamCP led by Richard Greer is one of New Zealand’s premier coaching services. With athletes competing and completing in many events from Running, Triathlon, and Multisport. Ngaire who is a run club superstar flies the flag for TeamCP and she checks people in and is the friendly face you see when you arrive
This season we will also have multiple National Champion and massage therapist Katherine Camp as a key leader.
Part 2 of this year's Run Club starts on Tuesday 3rd of September @6pm (with week one from the Frontrunner Colombo). Run Club will happen every Tuesday night (up until Queenstown Marathon weekend).

We do these on a 1500m loop in North Hagley, there is a bathroom and people park in the gardens carpark. Intervals are based on time not distance and everyone does the same. These sessions include a coach lead warm-up.

HILL REPEATS
This year on weeks 3, 6, 9 we are going to add another session on the hill. This will be 2-4 minute hill repeats up Rapaki Road. For these, we will meet at the Hansens Park Carpark, next to the bathrooms @6pm. Using the footpaths to jog to the hill as a warm-up (1km). Hills are a great way to get strength and create better technique. Both Auckland and Queenstown have hills, so this creates a unique opportunity to practise what they feels like.
17th of September - Week 3

Run Club rules…
No runner left behind, once you start in a pace group, you do not speed up and leave a fellow runner behind, our social runs are not a race.
You must sign in on arrival.
If you are hurt you must inform the person in charge of your group who will report to me.
You are ultimately responsible for your own well-being, use traffic lights, stay aware, and look after each other.
I will do my best to have the following weeks run up on Friday afternoon for the following week.
Oska and Richard..
