 Throughout the year, the middle distance squad often train with the long distance and cross country squad, from OUCCC. In the summer months they tend to always train on the track in the evenings, and sometimes the times change a little so the track is less busy when they do speed stuff! Get in touch with the squad leaders Catherine or Tom (aka Barrett) so that they can add you to the squad group chats and keep you up to date with training times.

The 400 hurdles training can be done either with the long sprints squad, or the sprint hurdles/short sprints squad, as fits an athlete's schedule better. The long sprints squad will do technical hurdle training, Saturdays every other week on even weeks, so week 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 of term. See the hurdles and long sprints tab for more info, and get in touch with Julia, Natalie or James (hurdles and long sprints squad leaders) for more info.

 This includes Shot Put, Discus Throws, and Hammer Throw. Every other week after Saturday morning throws sessions athletes can head to Horspath to throw hammers. Note that you can only throw chain hammers at Iffley Road until the last day of Hilary Term.

Note that some weeks Bob (coach) may not be able to make the Saturday morning session, in which case he will switch to Thursday afternoon. This may become regular if there is demand.
