Welcome!

We are one of Scotland’s biggest running clubs, based on the southside of Glasgow.

We meet for training at 6.30pm every Monday and Wednesday at Clydesdale Cricket Club in Glasgow’s southside. Our sessions last about 60 to 90 minutes.                                                         

Our coaches are club runners, with coaching qualifications, who volunteer to lead a session each evening. Coaches prepare our training programme to improve our speed and endurance. Training includes intervals, hills and tempo runs.

Every Monday we train at Hutcheson’s track on Beaton Road. On Wednesdays we run in nearby parks in the summer and the local roads during the winter. All our training sessions/plans are available at bellahoustonroadrunners.co.uk

At the start of each session the Group Lead will introduce you and explain the session.

We normally train in 3 pacing groups loosely based on your 10k running speed. We use our club colours for our groups:

• Purple: under 42 mins
• White: 42 to 47 mins.
• Black: over 47 mins.

We do a 10-15 minutes warm up run, some running drills, and then up to 45 minutes or so of effort. Then we do a warm down back to our meeting point.

In your first few sessions take it easy. Don’t feel pressure to push yourself too hard. All we want is for you to have the best possible experience and we will do everything we can to keep you safe.

After a couple of weeks we ask you to join up at bellahoustonroadrunners.co.uk – we have a range of memberships based on how much you intend to train with us and we have a concession rate. Membership includes your own famous Bella purple running vest!

There’s more too than just training! We have an active social calendar, informal run options and groups, and a variety of club championships and events to keep you motivated.

So, welcome to Bellahouston Road Runners. Enjoy your run! Any questions? Just ask. We hope

you decide to stay with us.
