Our wonderful friends at Run Fast (www.run-fast.net) have given GoodGym the opportunity to get involved with their track sessions at Mile End track in conjunction with Victoria Park Harriers. This is a great opportunity if you are looking to step up your training a notch or two and carry out some focused interval training.

What to expect?

Sessions take place on the track at Mile End and are led by Peter McHugh, well known in the UK for supporting some of the best UK based distance runners and some top African athletes. Sessions are of mixed ability - from marathon winners to marathon first timers - they will challenge you, they will be different - but that's how you get fitter, stronger and faster!

Am I good enough?

If you feel confident of running 5-10km (don't worry about pace) then you'll get something out of the sessions. After a warm up and drills the session will usually consist of 20-30 minutes worth of running broken up into repetitions (efforts) and intervals (rest periods) - everyone runs their own pace within the same session.

Why?

Firstly it will help you step up your running to new levels and will push you, showing you are capable of more than you thought possible! Aside from this spreading the word about GoodGym to other local runners and getting to meet another group of friendly supportive runners is well worth the trip!

Running on a track is a different experience and it can be fantastic to see runners of all abilities really pushing themselves - it is a pretty inspiring environment.

What will I need?

Running kit, water and £3 for the track fee - details here - https://www.better.org.uk/leisure-centre/london/tower-hamlets/mile-end-park-leisure-centre/facilities
