It is fantastic to see so many club members back training at the track, but particularly now we must make sure we abide by the current group training restrictions and give all user groups at the track plenty of space to train. Please see the note from our coaching coordinator, Ted Aston, below:
Groups A, B & C
1. Athletes must go to their designated starting areas with their bags and bicycles.
2. Coaches should nominate their captains beforehand together with those running in their group
3. Groups no greater than 12
4. All to leave track straight onto the infield (not outer lanes) after each rep.
5. All groups to walk/jog on the infield – on the grass. Must not use the outer lanes
6. Groups to stay apart
7. Captains make sure their athletes regroup before the next rep and set off together
8. Once overtaken, athletes to move into lane 1 immediately. Single file
9. Athletes must leave the arena immediately after the session and cool down outside.
10. Note, lanes 1-3 available
Sprints
1. As above except use lanes 4,5, 6, 7 & 8
2. Lane 6 & 7 on the back straight for equipment, hurdles, etc, if needed.
