Monday Track Sessions at Paddington

Monday Track Paddington Rec (Oct 2024) — *Monday Trackers at Paddington Rec*

We organise this foundation track session for Serpentine adults on Monday evenings at Paddington Track.

These sessions are aimed at those who are new to structured interval training and want to improve their speed and endurance. They’re designed for foundation level runners who can comfortably run for 30 minutes (e.g. 2 parks) and would expect to take more than 48 minutes to run a 10k. As well as interval training on the track, sessions will also include running drills and some strength exercises designed to improve your running.

By coming to these sessions you will be able to:

get comfortable training on an athletics track
improve your pacing
develop different running speeds
improve your running form, strength and mobility.

Location: Paddington Track. There is no fee for the track. Bags can be left trackside (no valuables please) with us, or lockers (if you have valuables) are located by reception which require a returnable £1 coin, or a token which also costs £1. Showers and changing rooms cost £3.15 (as of February 2023 and subject to change from time to time) payable at reception.

Start: 7.00pm. The session will be finished by 8.15pm.

Full details of the programme are below and are also sent to the Run Training mailing list each week. Newcomers to structured training may want to check they have their email preferences set up correctly to ensure they receive these emails.

For example, for members under 16, please get a parent or guardian to register here, and then register the athlete from within the parent account.
