Why PPAC

A club, not a class

01

EVIDENCE-LED COACHING

Sessions designed by qualified coaches with two decades of experience from beginner to GB level. Every block has a reason; every rep has a pace.

02

EVERY PACE WELCOME

Pace groups mean nobody runs alone and nobody is left behind. The same session, scaled honestly to where you are today.

03

NOT-FOR-PROFIT

Run by a volunteer committee, affiliated to England Athletics. One £45 fee covers the year — every penny goes back into the club.

PPAC / SESSIONS

The Week, structured

Five sessions, one system. Tap any session for the detail — what it is, who it's for, and what to bring.

MON Strength & Conditioning
All members · Gym COACH-LED18:30—19:30+

The off-track hour that holds the season together. Force and power work tested on diagnostics and transferred straight back to the track — squat patterns, plyometrics, calf capacity, trunk control.

Programmed in blocks that mirror the running calendar, so gym work supports your races rather than competing with them.

BRING — INDOOR SHOES, WATER
LEVEL — ALL · SCALED LOADS
VENUE — TUDOR GRANGE GYM
CAP — 16 ATHLETES
TUE Teen Speed Group
Ages 13–18 · Lanes 5–8 SPRINTS18:00—19:15+

Sprint mechanics, acceleration and competition craft for teenagers — taught properly, with the patience the event deserves. Athletes are developed for the long term, not burned for a season.

All coaches are DBS-checked; our Welfare Officer's details are on every junior communication.

BRING — SPIKES IF OWNED, LAYERS
LEVEL — BEGINNER TO COUNTY
VENUE — LANES 5–8
PARENTS — WELCOME TRACKSIDE
FRI Friday Night Track Club
Adults · Lanes 1–4 · The flagship ENDURANCE19:00—20:30+

The session the club was built around. Structured intervals under the floodlights — thresholds, VO2 work, race-pace blocks — in pace groups from first-5k to sub-3 marathon. The session is published Monday; the splits are yours to chase.

Then the clubroom. The second half of the session is the conversation afterwards — that part isn't optional culture, it's the point.

BRING — WATCH, LAYERS, HEADTORCH NOV–FEB
LEVEL — ALL ADULT PACES
VENUE — LANES 1–4
AFTER — CLUBROOM, ALWAYS
SAT Trackside Academy
Ages 6–13 · Infield MULTI-EVENT09:00—10:30+

Sprints, jumps, throws and games for primary-age athletes — the full athletics menu, taught with senior-squad rigour and a junior-sized sense of fun. The aim is broad movement skill first; specialisation can wait.

BRING — TRAINERS, WATER, WATERPROOF
LEVEL — ALL · NO TRIALS
VENUE — INFIELD & HOME STRAIGHT
REGISTER — VIA SPOND
SUN The Long Run
Adults · Road from the track gates ROAD08:30—OPEN+

Out from the gates in pace groups, on routes posted the night before. Long, easy and social — the unglamorous miles that make Friday's session possible. Coffee on return is non-negotiable.

BRING — FUEL FOR 60–120 MIN
LEVEL — GROUPS FROM 6:30/KM
START — TRACK GATES
AFTER — COFFEE, OBVIOUSLY

PPAC / MEMBERSHIP

Take a number, take a place

One fee, every session, England Athletics registration included. Here's exactly how joining works.

How to Join

Four steps, ten minutes

  1. COME TO A SESSION

    Your first one's free. Turn up, run, see if we're your people. (We probably are.)

  2. COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION FORM

    Our online form takes five minutes — contact details, emergency contact, and a short medical declaration. Juniors need a parent or guardian to complete it.

  3. PAY YOUR £45

    Bank transfer to the club's NatWest Community account — details are on the form confirmation. That's the whole year: £23 goes to England Athletics, £22 stays in the club.

  4. RECEIVE YOUR URN & VEST NUMBER

    Our Membership Secretary registers you with England Athletics. You'll get your Unique Reference Number, your club vest number, and access to race entries and ballots.

CHAMPIONSHIP BALLOT POLICY

Club places for championship events — including London Marathon Championship entries — are allocated by ballot among eligible members, with priority protections agreed by the committee and published before each draw. Ask the Membership Secretary for the current policy document.

COMPETING FOR PPAC

The club vest (£22) is mandatory when representing PPAC in England Athletics competition. Either colourway is race-legal; see the Kit page for both.

Questions

Asked often

Yes, genuinely. Pace groups exist so the same session works from first-5k to sub-3 marathon. Nobody runs alone and nobody is left behind.
No — your first session is free with no forms. After that we'll ask you to register so you're insured on the track.
£23 is your England Athletics registration (race discounts, insurance, eligibility). £22 stays in the club covering coaching, track hire and admin. The club is not-for-profit; fees are reviewed at the AGM.
Parents are welcome trackside for all junior sessions and must complete the registration form on their child's behalf. All coaches are DBS-checked.
Either — both colourways are registered with England Athletics and race-legal. The vest (£22) is only mandatory once you're representing PPAC in competition.
Yes — England Athletics handles first-claim transfers through your URN. Our Membership Secretary will walk you through it; it usually takes under a fortnight.
