Cross Country Running in Southend

Training to go the distance

Middle distance and endurance running focus on improving stamina, or the athlete's ability to run for a longer period of time. At the same time there is a unique strategic component to the discipline, as the athlete must learn to pace themselves and save their energy for the final leg of the race.

SS Athletics Southend covers 400, 800 and 1,500+ metre runs.

Our middle distance and endurance running classes therefore focus on developing straightforward aerobic and cardiovascular fitness, so they can run faster and for longer. We also cover pacing strategies, endurance techniques and finishing strategies.

Personalising your child's training

We account for the subtleties of biomechanics (An athlete's pace, limb length, etc), and our periodised approach to training ensures that there's an emphasis not just on achieving good times and beating personal bests, but running safely and effectively.
