Hooked on Health staff have been training people to run faster and for further whilst reducing their risk of injury, for over 20 years, from beginners to experienced runners!
Hooked on Running training groups are a great way to train for a specific running event, or just to keep fit and learn more about running, even if you never enter a fun run. But watch out! Once you are hooked you may find that running in a fun run is just the challenge you are looking for, and before you know it you'll be running in a marathon!

"I am really enjoying the longer distances now that I have finally understood what it means to slow down to run further. Thank you thank you thank you for this new and wonderful insight. I love my running training and would love to work towards the half marathon. "

Training Sessions
We use the ovals and surrounding streets for a variety of training including interval training, pacing practice, hill technique (up and down), and you will undertake time trials at regular intervals so you can gauge your progress. Whilst the bulk of the session is taken up with running, we will also be doing some running-appropriate strengthening work, and stretching.
Each running training session lasts for approximately 1 hour and is based on interval training at a medium to high intensity. This is a very effective way to improve your fitness and increase your running speed, and it's great for weight loss.There is no pressure to keep up with those running at a faster pace. We won't let you take it easy, but we won't overtrain you either.
Required Fitness Level
You don't need to be superfit to join our running groups. The sessions are structured in such a way that most levels of fitness are catered for. If you have never run before, or struggle with consitently running for more than 20 minutes, then perhaps one of our Learn to Run courses would suit you.
Sunday Runs
As well as your weekly interval training sessions, we schedule Sunday training runs so you can run with other group members over some great courses. Training runs are organised over a variety of distances with all runners starting and finishing at the same point, whatever distance you choose to run. A great way to make those longer runs more interesting.
Running in a fun run could be just the challenge you are looking for, so now's the time to start running training! Your next step is to click here to register for your free trial session, and we will take care of the rest.
