Come along, challenge yourself, and discover what you can achieve on the track. Fitness starts with the first step!
Before You Arrive
✅ Hydrate well (don’t wait until just before the session)
✅ Have a light meal or snack 1–3 hours beforehand (something with carbohydrates is ideal)
✅ Set up your GPS watch, heart rate monitor, Strava, Garmin, Runna, etc. before the session starts
✅ Wear appropriate running kit and bring a layer for the warm-up and cool-down
✅ If you’re doing intervals, consider setting up your workout on your watch beforehand to avoid faffing around on the track
A Few Extra Tips
✔️ Arrive a few minutes early so you’re not rushing. We’ll meet inside just past reception.
✔️ Think about your pacing plan before you start.
✔️ Don’t compare yourself to others; focus on executing your own session well
✔️ Recovery starts tonight—bring water and try to get some protein and carbs in after the session
Most importantly, come ready to work hard and enjoy it. Whether you’re chasing a PB, building fitness, or just getting the session done, every rep counts.
