Training in Southwold

Harbour, beach and a coast path.

Southwold's training is mostly outdoors and mostly club-based. Southwold Golf Club dates from 1884, Southwold Sailing Club keeps its clubhouse on the north side of the harbour, and there's rugby, cricket, tennis and football too. Indoors, GEM Fitness is the town's gym, with Yoga in Southwold and The Haven Health for slower sessions.

The sand and shingle beach runs past the pier, Southwold Common spreads around its two water towers, and the Bailey Bridge over the Blyth takes you on foot or by bike to Walberswick. The Suffolk Coast Path runs through on its way between Dunwich and Kessingland, so a long coastal run is easy to plan. It's easier still with a training partner who wants the same early start.
