Core Conditioning Core Conditioning Sessions will run on Monday nights at 8.30pm on the grass at the track. The cost will be £2.50 per session, and you won't need a track pass. The sessions are being run by Simon Desborough who runs Triumph Wellbeing in Potton with a view to continue all year round. These sessions are for over 18s. Core Conditioning is about strengthening the multiple muscle groups in the centre (core) of the body, including the abdominal and low back muscles, diaphragm, pelvic floor muscles, latissimus dorsi, hip flexors and the gluteal muscles. All these muscles work in concert to stabilize the spine while moving your limbs. Senior Road Training The group mainly meet at the front of Sandy Sports Centre on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm, but also take part in occasional away days. The away days and specific session themes as currently known are listed here, check the calendar for updates (deselect everything except "Training" on the drop-down Agenda list and look for "Senior Road Running" on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
