Woodstock Runners

Woodstock Runners is a community running club in Sydney's Inner West that has been meeting since 1980, with members ranging in age from 15 to 83. It caters for runners of all abilities, combining two coached interval sessions on grass tracks with social parkrun outings and longer weekend training runs. Typical weeknight sessions involve a coach-led warm up, varied interval or speed work such as sprints, mile repeats, pyramids or fartlek, then a cool down and stretches.

Four weekly sessions: coached interval and speed training on grass tracks on Monday at King George Park, Rozelle and Thursday at Campbell Athletic Field (Campbell Oval), Canterbury/Ashbury, each 18:30-19:30 and led by Athletics NSW accredited volunteer coaches, with warm up, cool down and stretches included; sessions are run to time rather than distance so runners are not left behind. Saturday mornings members take part in parkrun 5k events across Sydney and beyond, including a rotating 7km Bay Run handicap series, and Sunday long runs of about 12-32km start from Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre at 07:00, self-organised into similar-paced groups with routes agreed via the members' Facebook page. Visitors can trial the club free for two weeks with no need to pre-register - just turn up and introduce yourself to a coach or runner. Membership is described as a low annual fee that includes a club singlet and access to more than 200 sessions a year; joining and contact details are on the club website.
