We try not to fill track with rules, but we know we’ve got up to 60-70 athletes with a mixture of ability and pace - and our responsibility is to make sure everyone is safe, enjoys and has equal opportunity to push hard - or take it easy!.
The track schedule is designed to cater for everybody. The sessions are listed under Track Schedule so you can see what the set will be for that week. By no means do you have to do all of the set, you should only do what you feel comfortable with. So if you are a beginner, improver, recovering from an injury or just looking to get faster then please come down to the track as we can cater for everybody.
| 1 | Coaching Briefing |
We would appreciate just a moment’s quiet when briefing at the start and in the stretching, it’s quite hard to shout over people (and it’s not that fun to shout at you too!)
|
| 2 | Lanes |
Lane 1 is for Everyone!
- Inner lane(1): Lane 1 is for your effort - Everyone is entitled to use it. - Inner lane(2): Lane 2 is for overtaking - then slotting back in. - Outer lanes(3–6): Great for taking it easy, not doing the session or recovery |
| 3 | Passing |
Always pass runners on their right. Don’t cut in front of someone, please wait until you’re safely ahead.
|
| 4 | Merging |
Check behind you before changing lanes or stopping, just like driving. Putting a hand out to the right to show your moving lane can help
|
| 5 | Awareness |
Always run counterclockwise unless directed by Coaching Team.
With so many runners, we ask that you don’t use headphones or have your own music playing - Please be considerate to each other and helps the coaches easily communicate |
| 6 | Communicate |
When passing if needed: a quick “passing on your right” can help.
|
| 7 | Stopping |
When stopping or coming to the end of an effort, move out wide towards the outer lanes, checking first behind you so as not to hinder other runners that are still running.
Pay attention to the runners around you before starting or stopping, and when not running, please always look both ways before crossing the track |
| 8 | Spitting |
We are all different, and while spitting isn’t pleasant, sometimes a hard effort at track can lead to the need to deal with it. We ask if you do need to, you ensure it is clear of the track - and most importantly other runners.
