The philosophy behind our Wednesday sessions

Warm up: These sessions are designed for all abilities and to be all inclusive. All of the coaches will ensure that the sessions cater for your different abilities. All of our sessions are started with an appropriate warm up. The coach or leader will, if necessary, lead you to the venue of the session. This warm up run will be done at the pace of the slowest runner. Once at the venue the coach leader will be responsible for any drills, stretches, briefing and instructions on the session you're about to do. Please listen carefully to them and remember that they are in charge for your safety. 

Time: The coached sessions will start at 7pm but will end between 8 and 8:30pm depending on the session. Your coach can advise you of expected return time in the intro.

Training takes place from Newton Abbot Recreational Trust, Newton Abbot (TQ12 2AR) on Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7.00pm sharp.
