Our weekly sessions
We meet for regular runs three times a week: Tuesday intervals, Thursday club run and Sunday 10@10.
Below we outline the different sessions and locations. Check our Facebook group for times and locations in the weekly announcements.
About our regular sessions
-
There is no need to register for the sessions below - just show up and introduce yourself to the session host.
-
The club runs are a great way to meet other runners and make new friends.
-
We encourage everyone to pace themselves and run at a comfortable pace.
-
Wearing hi-vis/reflective gear and a light source is strongly recommended for all evening club runs in the dark. This is for your safety and that of others.
-
There is nowhere secure to leave belongings for the sessions on Thursdays and Sundays, nor on Tuesday sessions at Stevenage Road/Bishop’s Park - come ready to run.
What are the differences between Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday sessions?
Tuesday intervals @ 18:45
Road or track workouts designed to help you improve your speed and endurance.
They are beginner friendly and last about 45 minutes.
Sessions include briefing, warm-up/drills, core session and stretching. Session details are posted on Facebook.
These are run at a variety of locations, and we are currently running sessions at:
-
Johnny Haynes Statue, Craven Cottage
-
Barn Elms Track (Fee payable)
-
Paddington Track
You can click here to see further details about the Tuesday planned interval session for current month.
Thursday Club Run @ 18:45
Thursdays are a longer, social evening run with a choice of two routes:
-
2 bridges (6.5km or 4 miles)
-
3 bridges (10km or 6.2 miles)
Two bridges will usually have a backmarker and runners who want to add more distance to their run are encouraged to try “fishhooking” (see FAQ).
All Club Runs start from The Johnny Haynes Statue, Craven Cottage.
Sunday 10@10 at 10:00
Sunday is our longest run of the week, but it always ends with coffee and cake.
There is a choice of two routes:
-
3 bridges (10km or 6 miles)
-
4 bridges (16km or 10 miles)
This run is available to all paces although some weeks it is faster, some weeks it is slower.
If you are concerned about the distance, some people have been known to do their own run and simply join for the coffee and cake at the end.
10@10 starts at Bishop’s Park Tea House.

Where do we run?
On Thursdays and Sundays we run along the river, counting bridges.
Two Bridges
Putney - Hammersmith
The popular one for Thursday Club Runs and a good option on a Sunday morning.
At c.4 miles/6.5k it's a great progression from 5k/parkrun, and follows the river so there is no chance to get lost.
Three Bridges
Putney - Barnes Railway Bridge
The longer option on Thursdays and popular one on Sundays.
At c.6 miles/10k this is a great one for an easy chatty run or increasing your pace on a tempo run.
Cutting through Barnes Village, there are road crossings until you get to Queen Elizabeth Walk and back on to the river.
Four Bridges
Putney - Chiswick
The longer option on Sundays, this is c.10 miles/15k and perfect for half marathon training.
And you'll definitely want that coffee & cake afterwards!
