The Hobbos - Track Training (weekly)

Welcome to the Hobsons Bay Running Club ("The Hobbos")

We are a social running club based in the Williamstown - Newport - Altona area of the beautiful Port Phillip Bay, with facilities at the Newport Park Athletics Track where we are a co-tenant club. We are an inclusive club with a wide mixture of members (runners and walkers) from kids (families) to senior citizens and everything in between.

We have accredited coaches who can help guide you with your goals, and slower runners & walkers who just like to stay healthy.

We have year-round track training on Tuesday mornings & evenings, and hill training on Thursday mornings & evenings, all led by accredited recreational running coaches. We have monthly 5km events and other regular races over different distances, contributing towards seasonal and annual competitions. All of our events are handicap events to suit all abilities, with full electronic timing and web published results.

We are an Athletics Victoria affiliated recreational running club who have adopted and comply with the "AV Member protection policy" and Code of Conduct.

Sessions

Training consistently is the core ingredient to improving your running and unfortunately it is difficult for many of us to keep our enthusiasm on our own.

Hobbos has a great culture of training in groups and this is something you can take advantage of to really improve.

Tuesday Mornings from 6.00am (For the Early birds), same session as Tuesday nights. Join a track interval session where you concentrate on learning to improve your pace and stamina. Putting you through sessions such as 5x 800 metres or maybe 10x 400 metres certainly allow you to discover a new side to running. These sessions on the track are proving very popular and with a warm-up exercises, session, and 2 warm-down laps, normally taking around an hour total.
