The Senior Endurance Group is for those runners who like to train and race on roads, trails and cross country. We have a wide variety of abilities and basically there are three approximate groups

Group A – 19min  or quicker 5k :  Group B – 20-23min 5k   : Group C – 24-27min 5k

Groups meet beside the track at Maiden Castle on Tuesdays and Thursdays for appx 6.40pm.

New members are always welcome.

For any information about training with the senior endurance group please contact Robert at seniorendurance@durhamcityharriers.org.uk  or come down to Maiden Castle on a Tuesday or Thursday.

Make your Training really count. Use this link to calculate your ideal training pace. Also –

Very Approximately: Interval is faster than 5k pace down to 3k pace. Tempo (threshold) is about your 10mile racing pace (or use the talk test-could talk but find it hard and don’t want to). Steady – can certainly talk in sentences and carry out a conversation but you may sometimes need breaks in the conversation to catch your breath. Easy – can talk without any problems.

Warm Up – On summer evenings when the Session is based at Maiden Castle (usually Tuesdays) there will be a structured warm up at the start of the session. 

Remember on dark nights to wear High Viz kit so you can be easily seen!!
