Please bring appropriate kit with you for the session. Training or racing shoes are usually fine for the grass sessions but spikes will be needed when it gets wet.
Dress appropriately for the weather and bring a waterproof, spare top and drink. In Richmond you'll jog with these so a small bag is good.
Through the winter we usually carry out conditioning work at St Mary's on Monday, a grass session at Teddington Lock Playing Fields or track session on Wednesday, and a hill session in Richmond Park on Sunday. In the summer we are generally based at St Mary's.
Training starts at 18:30, and 10:30 on Sundays - don't be late - we won't wait!!
However, venues do change or training could be cancelled following hard races. We advise you check the diary every week so you don't turn up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
