JUNIOR MIDDLE DISTANCE GROUP
The junior middle distance group is aimed at athletes in the 11 to
17 years age group (i.e. School years 7 to 13), male and female, who wish
to specialise in track events from 800 metres upwards (indoor and outdoor)
and/or cross country/road running events.
The group meets 4 times per week as follows:
- Winter
- Tuesday 6.15pm - Five Acres Track (Open Session)
- Thursday 6.15pm - Five Acres Track (Open Session)
- Saturday 9.00am - Five Acres Track (Closed Session)
- Sunday 10.00am - Long Run. (Closed Session) Venues vary, please
check beforehand.
Summer
- Tuesday 6.15pm - Five Acres Track (Open Session)
Thursday 6.15pm - Five Acres Track (Open Session)
Saturday 9.00am - Five Acres Track (Closed Session)
Sunday 10.00am - Long Run (Closed Session)
We welcome athletes of all abilities and they may attend the Tuesday
and/or Thursday sessions. Older, more experienced athletes will be
advised by the coaches if they think it will be beneficial to attend
the Saturday and/or Sunday sessions. The training is adapted to suit
all abilities. Older athletes, if they desire, may be issued with
individual programmes, which require some work on their own. These
programmes will be tailored around the group programmes. Group training
programmes will be issued on a monthly basis and details posted at
the track.
Some athletes may wish to undertake a middle distance event as
part of a multi event programme. These athletes are welcome to join
us but, in the first instance, should join a multi event group where
the necessary arrangements will be made.
We are a sturdy bunch and train outdoors all year around so please
ensure you have the correct clothing at all times. Also please arrive
promptly for training as it is unfair if your fellow athletes are
stood in the cold waiting!
