Run Workouts

Sunday Morning Long Runs: This is a “Coach Present” run session which happens at a variety of running locations. Sometimes, we even go out for breakfast together afterwards!

Optional Start Times: Coach Mikey starts the run at 7:00am and then loops around back to the start for another run start at 8:00am. Start your run at 7:00am if you need a longer run. Start your run at 8:00am if you only want to run an hour. Start your run at 7:00am if you only want to run an hour but need to be done early. Just come and run!

Tuesday Tear-It-Up Track and Trail Runs: Join other ATC members for a group run at Rotary Stadium on Tuesday evenings from 5:45 – 7:00p.m (and we hit the trails as well from October to March). We meet on the “covered stand” side of the track (look for our ATC signs). An ATC coach will be present every week to lead you through a track workout. You will learn about and practice pacing and speed work. These sessions are fun, informative, and leveled so that every member, regardless of ability, is challenged to meet the goals of their running practice.

- If track too slippery, head out to Powerline Trail and assess navigability for "round the park run". Headlamps will be needed. ATC has 4 available if you do not have your own.

Coach Present: Mikey

Tuesday Tear-It-Up Track and Trail Runs

Due to the cold weather and icy track conditions, we are shifting indoors for group safety! Drop in any time between 6:00-8:00pm for a tread/track run/dip/sauna/weights/whatever combo you want or need at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre (admission required). The run is “free choice” of course: your distance, your intensity, your motivation. Their treadmills are pretty skookum: Bruce/Kristina/Mikey/Sean tried them out last week. Hope to see you there!

Due to the snow and for our safety, the February 5 Sunday Run has been cancelled. Coach Sean had a couple of GREAT routes planned out (see below) so I will post an update as to when this run will be rescheduled for a future date. Tuesday Track will likely be changed to a Tuesday Treadmill unless the weather significantly improves. Safety first folks!

Tuesday Tear-It-Up Track and Trail Runs:

ATC Tuesday Track will be Treadie at the Abbotsford Rec Centre again as Track and Trails are simply too treacherous for a group to run them safely.

Moved to Wednesday to accommodate Valentine's Day!
