| The main WCH
Club Night for Seniors is every Wednesday (Juniors is Monday
night). This is a mixture of training,
exercising and
socialising.
The aim is to experience
a challenging and varied mix of running activities, helped by the
support fellow club members.
The usual venue is the
Wells Rugby Club next to the Wells Leisure Centre, Charter Way.
Running Groups
There are usually 2-3
running groups, catering for different abilities and needs. You
can choose which one to go along with, or start a new one yourself -
there are no hard and fast rules.
-
The Fast Group
is usually runners who are capable of keeping up a good pace,
and want to be challenged by tougher courses.
-
The Steady Group
goes at a more relaxed pace, but still gets to some excellent
parts of the city and its environs.
-
The Intermediate Group is for those who may have
"graduated" from the Steady Group, but do not yet feel strong enough
to go with the Fast Group. This group is mainly those who want
to develop their fitness and stamina for events such as half
marathons. (see below)

What
we do
-
Summer Runs
are usually cross country, using local knowledge to get some
of best scenery in Somerset. We include Ebbor Gorge, King's
Castle Wood and many more. Most months we will have
pub run somewhere in the area
when all groups get together for a more social gathering. Some
of these may be a Hash Run
to add a bit of fun!
-
Winter Runs
usually involve some well lit road circuits of Wells, but this
is mixed with optional hill reps
or road reps to build up stamina
and to get a bit of variety.
-
The 5K Series
happen most months with either the Winter
Street Series or the Summer
Yeovilton Series, both of which happen on the second
Wednesday of the month (see
Fixtures
page).

The
Intermediate Group
This group of keen
developers is being helped by some other members who will lead runs on a
rota basis, so that the Intermediates can get the benefit of others'
experience and knowledge of local routes. If you want to be a volunteer,
please contact
webmaster.
