Tuesday Track Sessions at Paddington

Track coaches Andy Robbins and Andy Reeves organise the Serpentine track session for seniors on Tuesday evenings at Paddington Track.

The coached session starts at 7pm and typically consists of a brief introduction followed by a group warmup involving useful dynamic exercises and drills designed to improve your running and to get you ready for the sessions itself. The groups are divided by ability / experience with the more advanced runners tending to cover a greater distance or having shorter recoveries whilst the others tend to do slightly less or have greater recoveries. Current abilities of participants range from about 33 minutes for a 10K through to around 48/49 for the same distance.

The workouts usually finish by around 8:15pm. A track fee of £1 per person is charged payable at either the entrance to the actual track or at reception. Lockers and free changing rooms are available by reception. If you're new to the session, please seek out one of the coaches before the session starts.

More details on the session itself, its suitability, and more personalised advice can be gained by emailing the Paddington Coaches.

These sessions are not suitable for either beginnners, those still relatively new to running or those not already running at least 3-4 times a week. So please keep this in mind!

Full details of the programme are below and are also sent to the mailing list each week.

Sessions

The sessions from mid July through to the end of September move back to the more traditional 3-10K range of paces and are designed to help support your training towards autumn road races, the 6/4 stage road relays and the forthcoming XC season.
