Sutton Harriers AC distance running group
Running sessions coached by Marc Laithwaite take place at Sutton High School running track, each Tuesday evening, starting at 6.45pm. The sessions will vary, depending upon time of year. During the winter, sessions will generally rotate over a 3 week period: track session / road session / hill sessions, as the year progresses the training blocks will be periodised and will build towards the summer track and road season.
Ashurst Bike Club Cycle Training Rides & Cycle Time Trials
From November to early March the Ashurst bike club organise a regular Sunday group ride and attend a weekly chain gang session. As spring approaches the Sunday group ride and weekly chain gang are replaced by a mid-week 10 miles time trial each Thursday evening and cycling / triathlon events at weekends. The mid-week time trial is organised by Merseyside Wheelers Cycling Club and generally starts at the end of April and takes place at Bickerstaffe near Rainford. The Sunday group ride throughout the winter leaves from the same location, is approximately 2-3 hours in length and ridden at 16-17mph. No riders are left behind and everyone is welcome, simply turn up and ride with us!!

Training session for triathlon competitors take place each Saturday morning 9.00am - 10.30am at Selwyn Jones Sports Centre, Newton Le Willows. The cost of the session is £4-00, all standards are welcome and it is open to all triathlon competitors, club members or otherwise. Each session is lead by a qualified coach and periodised throughout the year to match the triathlon season. More information can be found from the main swim menu on the left hand side of the page.
If you intend to swim regularly on Saturday mornings, you will need to purchase a set of swimming fins and a set of hand paddles to participate fully in each swim set. This is not compulsory, but you would benefit greatly from their use. If you have either or both, please bring them with you to poolside.
