Training in Caversham

River, hills and plenty of mats.

Caversham sits across the Thames from the town centre and climbs towards the Chilterns, and its training is spread through the streets up to Emmer Green. Caversham Health Club has a Technogym gym, Pilates and indoor cycling studios and a sauna, and Strong Womens Club coaches strength for women. Martial arts run deep here: Shotokan karate, kung fu and tai chi, ju-jitsu and aikido all have their own clubs. Add three tennis clubs, Emmer Green Gymnastic Club and a couple of Pilates studios.

The river is the other half of it. Reading Canoe Club paddles from the Caversham bank, and the Thames Path follows the water past Christchurch Meadows. For a run with some climb in it, the land rises from the floodplain to the top of Caversham Park, so a training partner who likes hills won't be short of them.
