Looking to get faster, or just feel more comfortable on your next 5k or Half Marathon?
Always fancied trying out the track but never had the confidence? This session is for you.
Track is not just for “fast runners”. Doing speed work sessions at the track will help any runner improve their race time and better their overall fitness.
Dougs session will help enhance speed endurance and would include drills designed to increase speed, agility and strength. It is suitable for all abilities and compliment any run training.
These sessions run alongside our normal track sessions with Spencer at Stantonbury Track – 18:45 to 20:00 – Cost £1 for Redway runners and £3 for non Redway Runners (to cover track fees). So if you have never tried track a great chance this summer to give it a go
