INTERVAL TRAINING
EVERY WEDNESDAY

FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED?

Every Wednesday evening, you’ll find our coaches leading interval sessions at Southwark Park Athletics Track.

Each week they'll guide you through a structured interval session to improve your speed and speed endurance. This includes a warm-up, drills, approximately 45 minutes of interval running, and a cool down. The sessions are open to runners of all abilities, and you will always be grouped with runners of similar pace to make the session both challenging and enjoyable.

Sessions are often designed as part of specific training blocks, but you can come to any Wednesday as it suits you! You don’t have to be training for that specific event to get the benefits of interval training.

In order to enjoy these sessions fully, you should be able to run a minimum of 5K continuously.
