Club Coaching

Trent Park Running Club is a running club for all and has regular training sessions for Juniors, Track & Field, Road/Cross Country running, Long Runs, Triathlon and Core Stability & technique.
Sessions are led for no extra charge by a combination of qualified (currently ranging from Level 1 through to Level 3) and volunteer Group Leaders.

The Group Leaders aim to use the structure as a guide to ensure that participants get the maximum enjoyment from sessions by appropriately:

1. organising groups by ability
2. aiming to limit group sizes of no more than 10 runners

Before a session starts, they'll confirm the ability level of their group, the route to be taken, the planned session time and whether anyone is carrying any injuries.

In return, the Group Leaders ask that all runners observe the following "5 Rules for Runners":

1. Be on time for sessions
2. Wear Bright Colours when training in the dark
3. Personal Responsibility - listen to the Group Leader's instructions.
4. Collective Responsibility - look after each other.
5. Let Group Leaders know if you are struggling.
