Welcome to South West Road Runners, one of the largest and friendliest running clubs in Devon. We were formed in 1984 primarily as a road running club, but since moving to our present location at Exeter Arena in 1992 the club has seen a broadening of its activities to include cross country, trail, and fell running.

We currently have around three hundred members including junior runners from age eight years upwards.

We pride ourselves on being as inclusive as we can be. We have trained coaches to lead track sessions, and run leaders to suit all abilities and running requirements including guide leaders for Visually Impaired (VI) runners. 

We offer a warm welcome to all, and count amongst our number a whole range of abilities, from those who want nothing more than a social jog around town, right up to county representatives and international Age Group Duathlon and Triathlon runners. 

We can also arrange ad- hoc marathon and half marathon training runs as well as transition groups for novice runners, or for those looking to build up their fitness. There really is something for everyone!

The club also currently organises four annual race events, details of which which can be found elsewhere on the website. We are also the only club in Devon and Cornwall to regularly enter a team into the prestigious Welsh Castles Relay Race..

Please contact us if you need any more information, or just come along and join us if you fancy a run.

Tonight on the track coached by Victoria.We are continuing our theme of maximal effort reps with 3-5 sets of (100m, 200m, 300m) each with a 3 minute walk/jog recovery. The recovery is really important here as fast running like this is incredibly taxing on the muscles which are working anaerobically (essentially utilising a very small energy source) - the bi product of this is muscle fatigue. So to maximise each rep recovery is key. As well as this and to ensure you are working hard enough, you should hit Z5 and max HR fairly quickly. These short, fast intervals are aimed at tapping into your V02 max whilst also activating more fast twitch muscle fibres. Both of which will help to improve your speed. This session is open to all. However, due to the nature of the session if you are carrying any form of injury please speak to Victoria before we start.See you track side 🤩 ... See MoreSee Less
