The club has been running a two squad system (Performance and Development) since 2007. The features of this are as follows: - All members arrive at the same time and voluntarily split into squads usually after the warm up session. The Performance squad is usually out for about 1¼ - 1½ hours, the Development squad for about an hour.
- The Development Squad is primarily for running beginners, runners returning from injury, runners who are unfit or those who simply want a shorter, less intensive session.
- The Performance Squad is primarily for those who want a longer more intensive session.
- Juniors will normally participate in the Development Squad.
- It is possible to pick ‘n’ mix between squads every week – members are free to stay with any squad or try to progress from Development to Performance or go to whichever takes your fancy!
- On certain Wednesdays we revert to a single squad – notably for track nights and shortened training sessions before social events and certain indoor gym events.
- On summer Wednesday evenings where there are WSFRL races or the Club Handicap event there will be no performance squad and the Development squad will meet as normal (subject to coaches availability).
- Both Performance and Development squads will receive the structured training programme as outlined above.
