Metro Senior Training

We recommend that new members or runners looking to join come along on a Thursday night. These sessions can be easily adjusted on the night by our coaches dependent on your running background. We also have regular social runs through the year which are an excellent opportunity to meet fellow members before going to our organised training sessions.
