Owing to the success in attracting younger athletes, yet the difficulty of finding sufficient coaches, please note that we have had to introduce a waiting list of athletes of primary school age. Please telephone one of the contacts above for more information.
The main club training sessions are as follows :
TUESDAYS
7:00 PM
7:00 PMThe Tuesday session is a track session, usually under the supervision of Club Coach, Tom King.
Phone Tom for details on 01235 834873.
The intermediate running group (running between 9- and 11-minute miles for at least an hour) also meet on a Tuesday. See the details here.
THURSDAYS 7:00 PM
7:00 PM This is the club's main training session. For the summer of 2013 (with effect from 9/4/13) the Thursday evening training session are held starting from King Alfred's Academy West Site starting at 7:00pm. These sessions are also supervised by the club coaches. For senior athletes there is the option of longer run, typically an hour. We also try to provide a shorter run more suitable for beginners. Contact either the club Chairman, Gareth Smith on 01235 767538 or the Club Secretary, Dene Stringfellow on 01235 868111 or by email. (Note - our winter training meets at Wantage Leisure Centre - We will start winter sessions there some time around September.)
For senior athletes there is a more structured training session once per month led by Paul Jegou. The dark nights restrict the options available - but there are still a good number of possibilities. As before we will meet at the usual venue (now the leisure centre) at 7:00pm - just as for any other Thursday evening training session. For those who have not attended before these have been a variety of sessions including hill runs, interval/repetition runs and fartlek. The dates of these sessions are listed below. These have generally selected to avoid a club fixture the following weekend (although this was not always possible).
