Training Days are Tuesday Evenings 6pm - 7pm and Thursday Evenings 6pm - 7pm

The Next Step after 'The Junior Academy Level 1' is to start learning the technique's and motions involved in Endurance Running. 

At this stage in the athletes development we aim to teach the fundamental elements involved in Endurance

This includes Technique, Fitness, Stretching, Cross Country and Track Running

I've been involved in athletics in some form or another since the age of 11. I ran for Brighton and Hove AC, taking part in pretty much all of the events available. I represented Sussex for both cross country and track, focusing on the middle distance events. I started teaching in Hampshire in 1993 and was a Hampshire Schools' team manager, taking teams to the English schools cross country and track and field championships. I then joined COPAC and ran PBS for 400m, 800m and 1500m and subsequently represented Hampshire for both cross country and track. At some point in this journey I married Mike. Spending time running with and watching the elite group, coached by Mark Rowland, taught me a lot about the complexities and requirements needed to compete at this level as well as the need for athlete centred coaching to enable each individual work to their strengths.
