Thursdays are coached sessions. They take place at Parliament Hill Track or the hills nearby. These sessions are a great way to improve as a runner.
All club members are welcome to join the track sssions - they're not just for speed freaks. Some running clubs restrict their track sessions to only the fastest runners. We believe that coached sessions are a great workout for everyone. And, since we're all running on the same track, they're a great place to meet new friends in different pace groups.
The workouts vary throughout the year. Together they will build your strength, endurance and technique.
To give the sessions a focus, we have designed them around the key target races that are important to the club. We've even put together a complete, customizable schedule you can follow to build to these races. Don't worry if you're targetting a different race, or don't want to follow the full schedule, the Thursday sessions will still be a fantastic workout.
The target races include the London Marathon, and our club championships. Look for the events in our calendar that are marked with a target.
If you would like any more information on the schedule or would like some advice on how to prepare for other races, just ask our coaches.
We offer a 7:15pm session on Thursdays at Parliament Hill Track.
You should bring a water bottle.
When running at the track, be sure to follow the usual track etiquette. This is:
