August and early September
Any events to improve multi event scores.

Athletes may have individual programmes that include extra sessions but the base of club night training will remain the same. The exception to this will be athletes competing indoors who will have an individual plan.
Some athletes will need to peak Mid May-June to get into county schools. Others Late-Mid June for Midlands and county schools.
Others Mid June-Mid Aug for County National schools and National Clubs.
We will discuss with individuals their aims and adjust training as necessary.
Senior athletes will have a peak in May revert to strength & speed endurance through part of June and peak again in July/August.
Once the major competition for the year is over each athlete will be encouraged to do multi events.
In the U 15 age groups we will fit the training to the athlete not the athlete to the training.
More mature athletes may have to fit in with the training. Some athletes new to athletic training above the U15 group may stay with a multi event approach for a year. This will get them used to training and to ensure we fit them to their best event.
