Back on Track Runners

We are a friendly  group of runners who want to get fitter, get quicker, get PB race times, be sociable, challenge ourselves and have fun, We don't take ourselves too seriously, we meet at the the Village Hotel in Portsmouth, Hants, and offer sessions for free to Village gym members or for small charge for non members.

We have a varied schedule of sessions, and between the Head Coach and 5 Leaders  we encourage everybody to work hard and feel great after.  We have speed, hill, endurance, strength and technique sessions and have a mix of runners from those just starting out to those looking to beat their marathon times.  There is more to getting better at running, than just running, our technique and coached sessions work on how to become a more efficient runner and develop strength in key running muscles, helping to prevent that gloom of injury, andto help you become a better runner without pounding away endless miles.

All we ask is that you can run a 4km distance (at whatever speed) continuosly to come to the sessions, we leave nobody behind and we all agree running as a group is so much easier!

If you are not yet at the 4km distance, please contact us, it may work for you to attend a session and do a little less than others, or we can advise you how locally you could build up to a 5km distance (coach to 5km, parkrun, great run local are great initiatives locally to help new runners).

WE ARE ADHERING TO FULL GUIDELINES REGARDING COVID-19 FROM OUR NATIONAL GOVERNING BODY, England Athletics.  We will complete a register of attendees each session and will ask you NOT to attend if you have any covid symptoms or am awaiting the results of a test, or live with somebody who has either too.

For Early 2022, we are hoping to a 'BEGINNERS COACH TO 4KM COURSE' for those new to running.  You will find details on this page as we decide on dates, or please register your interest with Sarah@backontrackfitness.net

If you want to find out more about our group or want to engage in some 1-2-1 sessions with our coach, contact Sarah Gardiner.
