We have dedicated coaching and training sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
Our track and coaching sessions are designed for all runners, and in particular our Wednesday sessions are focussed to new runners to coaching.

Matt
I’ve been with London Frontrunners since 2017, joining the coaching programme in 2018 and taking on the role of Coaching Coordinator in early 2020. Coaching brings me such pleasure as I can help others become stronger and better runners. Coaching isn’t just for the fastest runners, but for everyone to improve their running technique. The programme is such an integral part of the club, seeing strong turnout at now 3 weekly sessions. I couldn’t do this without an incredible team of coaches.

Track FAQs
Who are these sessions intended for?
Track sessions are intended for runners who are already fit and who are looking to improve their running. These track sessions can help push you that extra bit.
The sessions will be physically demanding – you don’t need to be fast, but you do need to be able to run for an hour to get the most from the sessions. If you have never done a structured coaching session before, you are advised to try a Wednesday night session before attending Tuesday or Thursday. All our track sessions are mixed ability, but our Thursday track session has dedicated beginner introductions to track; speak to our coaches.
What sorts of exercises will it involve?
Warm ups, drills, intervals, and a cool down. The session will change from week to week – check the Coaching Plan for the details for each session.
Where do we meet?
Tuesday: Mile End Stadium and Track on B140 Rhodeswell Road (corner of Copperfield Road). The club meet at the far corner of the track at the throwing cage (What3Words: ///army.remind.achieving)
Thursday: Battersea Millenium Arena, Carriage Dr E, London SW11 4NJ. Meet at the grandstand on the right as you enter the track.
There are toilets, changing and showers, plus lockers at each of the venues.
We don’t have exclusive use of the tracks, so you will need to be mindful of other runners as well as any activity going on in the centre of the track which may include javelin and hammer throwing! The coach will give an intro to track etiquette as needed.
How much will it cost?
Entry to Mile End track is £5.05 payable via the Be Well app or on the door.
Battersea Millennium arena cost of entry is £5.30 (on the door or can book beforehand on the enable leisure centre website).
