Track

Who are these sessions intended for?

These sessions are intended for runners who are already fit and who are looking to improve their running. These track sessions can help push you that extra bit.

The sessions will be physically demanding – you don’t need to be fast, but you do need to be able to run for an hour to get the most from the sessions. If you have never done a structured coaching session before, you are advised to try a Wednesday night session before attending. All our sessions are mixed ability, but our Thursday track session has dedicated beginner introductions to track; speak to our coaches.

What sorts of exercises will it involve?

Warm ups, drills, intervals, and a cool down. The session will change from week to week – check the Coaching Plan for the details for each session.

Where do we meet?

Tuesday: Mile End Stadium and Track on B140 Rhodeswell Road (corner of Copperfield Road). The club meet at the far corner of the track at the throwing cage (What3Words: ///army.remind.achieving)

Thursday: Battersea Millenium Arena, Carriage Dr E, London SW11 4NJ. Meet at the grandstand on the right as you enter the track.

There are toilets, changing and showers, plus lockers (20p piece) at each of the venues.

We don’t have exclusive use of the tracks, so you will need to be mindful of other runners as well as any activity going on in the centre of the track which may include javelin and hammer throwing! The coach will give an intro to track etiquette as needed.

How much will it cost?

Entry to Mile End track is £5.05 payable via the Be Well app or on the door.

Battersea Millennium arena cost of entry is £5.30 (on the door or can book beforehand on the enable leisure centre website).
