Who are these sessions for?

All members, young/old, beginner/experienced. Anyone who wants to improve as a runner. Perhaps you are stuck in a running rut, feeling you’re running at the same speed all the time? Maybe you have a specific running goal or are new to running and want to develop a new training regime. Track sessions will help you break out and discover your running potential. You’ll also take away useful training ideas to use away from the track.

What happens at a track session?

Typically, starting with gentle, progressive warm up, incorporating running related strength drills/exercises. This part is really useful if you only do running, because we need to be fit to run, not the other way round.

After the warm-up the training session lasts 30-40 minutes, which might be split into 2 parts. The session will utilise different training paces and intensities to develop running fitness and mental strength.

After the session, a warm down, jogging round the track, and maybe some stretching if that’s desired. Also an opportunity to discuss or ask about your own training.

Occasionally, we might run optional time trial, e.g. 1 mile or 5k. This is a great way to monitor your progress.

Is it hard?

The sessions are as hard as you want to make them. As with all physical training and exercise — you get out what you put in. Simply by exploring our own perceived limitations we often uncover hidden abilities.

Track sessions are led by fully qualified UKA running coach.
