XSNRG is a running club that provides runners of all levels weekly club led interval training to develop strength, stamina, and speed, in a supportive and social environment. From beginners to accomplished competitive runners, no one is too slow or too fast to run with XSNRG – all you need is the desire to train and improve your running!

Structured workouts will help you improve, but they are not always easy to do on your own. Our Tuesday night workouts, led by instructors, make it easy, give you company, and help keep you motivated with your running.

Meeting Locations:
The club meets in the Leaside area every Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. and runs to a different workout location each week, focusing either on speed intervals or hill training. A typical workout includes a warm-up, cool-down, running tips on technique and the workout, and is usually finished by 8:00 p.m.



  • May through September: Sunnybrook Park in the Sports Pavilion parking lot on the upper fields
  • October through April: Leaside High School


NO ONE is too slow or too fast to run with XSNRG. All that is needed is the desire to run with others and to improve. Join us for our Tuesday Night Workouts … you’ll have fun and improve your running – all because of XSNRG’s workouts!

Shorter Races are the Key to Long Distances Races

I would think running a 5 km race is not on everyone's bucket list. Most people are shooting for the big Marathon or Half-Marathon, but if you want to improve your longer distance times a lot of coaches will tell you to concentrate on the shorter races. A 5 km race can be very challenging because it requires speed and endurance, as well as strength and strategy. The focus on training for a 5 km race will not be on long runs and staying away from injuries, but on speed and stride efficiency. Longer runs will play a part in your training, but will be a secondary priority to your speed workouts. Think about it...if you can run at a 4:00 per kilometre pace in a 5 km race, then running at a 4:00 per kilometre pace in a marathon will seem a lot easier! Some proof that mastering shorter races is the key to success in longer distance races...both Paula Radcliff and Haile Gebrselassie held some of the fastest times in the world in the 5 km before breaking world records in the marathon distance!
