If you want to learn to run but you dont know how to start, or if you just want to start exercising (walking or jogging)
and you dont mind a social side to your exercising, the Fit4Life programme could be
a ideal place for you. The group meet every Tuesday and Thursday at the track at 8.00pm and
improve thier abilites at thier own pace. Current and former starters of this programme have gone on to run
in Mini Marathons and other events, a feat they would never have thought possible.
All are welcome. Just drop down to the track and introduce yourself.
Training
If you are a runner of any standard, and would like to improve, or if you are in the Fit4Life programme
and you would like to step to the next level, training on the track starts at 7.00pm every
Tuesday and Thursday. Dont worry if you feel you will be too slow or too fast for
that matter. The sessions are designed to allow mixed ability runners to get a
good work out at the same session. Again, you take it at your pace, plus you will have
some experienced heads around to offer you guidance.
All are welcome. Just drop down to the track and introduce yourself
