Athletes will work on improving their acceleration, stride mechanics, and race strategy, with tailored training for different sprint distances. With a combination of drills, strength training, and race simulations, athletes will have the opportunity to enhance their speed and achieve personal bests, with the potential to progress to county, regional, and even national competitions.
Coaching Team: Marvin Popoola, Matt McGill, Will McGinness and Lloyd Archer
A typical session will start with a warm-up to get the major muscle groups ready for athletic activity. Young athletes will then typically undertake a series of drills to practice technique and sprinting form. The session will always finish with a warm-down.
Tuesdays session will typically focus on sprinting technique and form whereas Thursdays session will focus more on sprinting and be more physically demanding.
Athletes should bring suitable clothing for the weather and a water bottle.
Please note that changing facilities are fairly limited at the Mill Lane Track so athletes normally come ready changed for their session.
