THURSDAY SESSIONS
We provide short-distance sessions at Croydon Arena on Thursday evenings.

These sessions start at 7.30 pm. Please meet at the Arena by 7.15 if possible to allow adequate warm-up.

Our winter sessions are aimed at practising race pace for 800 and 1500 metre races,
and include sessions of 200 metre repetitions with a very short recovery,
and regular fast ‘time-trials’ over distances ranging from 300m to a mile.
From April to August we change the emphasis to include repetitions
of 250m and below with a longer recovery.

For more information about these sessions, please contact Alan Dolton (020 8656 0532)
