CHESTER LE STREET & DISTRICT ATHLETICS CLUB
Event Groups
Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Ages 11 - Adult
​
As athletes start to identify their athletic preferences then their training can be tailored to develop their performance in those specific events or event group. At Chester-le-Street we currently offer Event Group coaching in endurance running and throwing events
Meet the coaches
Suzanne is the endurance coach at the club. Initially joined as an athlete in 1987 and moved into coaching, completing many sports coaching awards and a sports science diploma. After a spell in the Army she returned in 2013, bringing her husband and daughters with her!
As well as working with the Foundation group, Phil takes event group coaching sessions for throwing events.
Endurance Running
Endurance running can include middle & long distance track events (800m - 10,000m) as well as Cross-County and Road Running. As such this group combines track sessions with "run outs" on road and trail to really get your heart and lungs pumping! So if you want to improve your Parkrun time or to give cross-country a try, this is the group for you!
Throwing Events
Throwing events include Javelin, Shot Put, Discus and Hammer throw, so if running is not your thing you can still get in on the action. Strength isn't everything in these events, proper technique is key to good performance, so make the most of our specialist coaching using age appropriate equipment.
