Our coaching Team are England Athletics registered and qualified, all specialising in endurance running and or Athletics.. There is good strength in depth within the team with broad knowledge and experience. All training sessions are carefully planned and led by the coaches and are suitable for all members. In addition to facilitating the club sessions the coaching team are happy to work with individual members in providing personalised training plans if requested.
To broaden the experience of the coaches we have been supported by England Athletics Flying Coach scheme, whereby a highly experienced national level coach will come along to the club, working with the coaches and our member athletes across a number of sessions.
The club ensures our Coaching Team are always fully compliant with England Athletics coaching standards and requirements. As an example the whole team have recently undertaken a First Aid Course in Basic Life Support.
