Harriers Regular Training 

Harriers meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7pm, in the winter at Summerheath Hall, Summerheath Road, Hailsham, and in the summer at Hailsham Community College, Battle Road on the School track. The training schedule set out on this page is discussed by the coaches before being implemented. 

The main training at these sessions is geared to faster running (much easier to do in a group). On any structured training schedule faster running is recommended (even for those involved in marathon training). All sessions involve fast groups and not so fast groups, (there is always someone the same standard). Many sessions are designed to bring all standards together which brings about a good club atmosphere.

Harriers meet to run together all over our local area, most notably on Sunday mornings, 8.30am at Butts Brow on the South Downs. This is at the top of Butts Lane, Willingdon, near Eastbourne.

These runs are normally at least 11 miles up to 16 miles and cover a lot of the Seven Sisters marathon area. We are often joined by runners from other clubs (all are made welcome). 

On holiday? come along.

Does this seem like something you should be trying? Give it a try, come along to any training session and Harriers will do there best to make you welcome (remember Harriers are a mixed bunch of all ages). Further information can be obtained from any of the Harriers.

Being involved in a running club brings a lot of different things to running:-

it is not just for the very best,

it is not just about beating other runners,

it is not elitist,

it is about enjoying your running,

it is about fitness,

see Harriers articles page Why Run? written by (Paul Eccles). (Paul enjoyed running at Uni, still ran, but did a lot more singing, (having a reasonable voice). At a local run he got talking to our then club captain (Pete Daws), he came along to a club night and was hooked. He has since gone on to be one of the best runners in Sussex (being Sussex 20 mile champion 2 years ago). If you want it, club involvement, can help get this, (history shows).) Paul has been Club Secretary and Club Captain.

Even if you are not in our area, club involvement is right, interested, still interested see our links page I'm sure you will find something there.

Running is fun.
