A group of club members met down at a local running track to improve technique and learn about running on an athletics track.
Many members tried running on the athletics track for the first time since leaving school. The hour long session gave members experience of running on the track by taking part in friendly relay races and short sprints.
We’ll be heading back soon so get in touch if you want to join us next time!
