Coaching
In addition to our Saturday activities, we also have coached training sessions during the week. Our main club training night is Tuesday afternoons/evenings at Alex Moore Park.
However we also run additional children’s athletics coaching for the younger kids and middle distance running training for juniors aged 10–19, for those who want additional fitness or skills training.
These sessions are ideally suited to:
- those who want to improve their running for Saturday harriers or school events.
- those who want to stay fit for other sports, like football, rugby and hockey.
- in summer, athletes who want to train for athletics or develop a fitness base for winter harriers
Our coaching is also available to non-members. Please contact our coaching coordinator Jo Murray for more information.
