Wellington

WELLINGTONIANS, LET'S RUN LIKE THE WIND!

Whether slow or speedy, experienced or newbie join a Wellington TempoFit season near you.

ABOUT TEMPOFIT WELLINGTON

A 6-week season of TempoFit is the ultimate tune-up for runners of ALL abilities. If you want to get faster, run smoother, be injury free, go further, and have more fun ... you've come to the right place! 

Each 6-week season includes three workouts per week:

  • TLC: Technique, drills, core, conditioning, strides … all that stuff that will help make you a smoother, less injury-prone and happier runner. Slightly less intensity than the Accelerate workouts.
  • ACCELERATE: Learn to get out of first gear and unleash your inner Ferrari! These workouts are tailored for the individual and gradually increase in intensity over the season.
  • LSD: Long, social and scenic distance runs. These are designed to develop endurance and aerobic capacity. Plus, you'll explore Wellington in all it's Sunday-morning beauty in the great company of friendly runners of all abilities. 

You'll also receive a 6-week training plan, weekly motivational emails, online training guidance (if you can't make the odd workout) and access to our incredibly supportive Facebook group. 

TempoFit Wellington is presented in partnership with Athletics Wellington, local running clubs and Athletics NZ.

FAQs

Will I be fast enough for TempoFit?

If you can run 5k non-stop, then absolutely yes! We have designed TempoFit especially for you! We wanted a programme that was tailored to the needs of the individual but still allowed runners of all abilities to train together. This is what makes TempoFit so unique. You WILL fit in!

It’s raining, is TempoFit running?

Yes. Always. (Although sometimes we alter workouts to allow for adverse weather.)

Can I attend different TempoFit locations?

Yes. Mix and match to suit your work and family commitments. But aim to do just three TempoFit workouts per week: one TLC, one Accelerate and one LSD. TempoFit members can even visit TempoFit in other cities if season dates align.

Is it just for runners or can beginners and other sports people join?

At TempoFit we have everyone from rugby players to recovering couch potatoes and from ultra runners to gym junkies. We'll tailor the workouts to your fitness level and you'll find the technique, speed and endurance developments will cross into loads of other sports.

What is your refund policy?

All TempoFit members outside of Auckland agree to these Ts and Cs, which include room for refunds.
