Running Club
Running club is ideally suited for pupils who have an interest in running, would like to know more about it and show determination to improve their skills.
No previous experience is necessary and a range of abilities are welcome. We will follow a varied training programme and at the end there will be the option to take part in a local park run. This is a free, 5km timed run which aims to improve mental and physical health and the achievement of completing a 5km run.
Along the way, we will look at small chunks of theoretical knowledge including diet, technology, mental wellbeing, goal-setting and training methods and their link to running. This will be a fun and relaxed environment with the opportunity to run off-site, however, everyone will be expected to push themselves each week. Pupils must have a proactive attitude and show a high level of effort to progress within this club.

Throughout the term, they will rotate through both indoor and outdoor activities, focusing on developing new skills and enhancing their physical wellbeing.
