Mon. Track Workout

January 13, 2025 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

WORKOUT PARTICIPATION:

IN GENERAL

Workout commitment – there is no commitment required in terms of how often club members attend workouts, other than what an athlete’s schedule permits. Athletes have the choice of participating in Track workouts (Monday & Thursday evenings), or Jumper workouts (Wednesday evenings), or both.

Workout clothing – there are no restrictions on dress but plan on running shorts, athletic top, and proper running shoes. Please see Footwear under TTFC Facility below.

Athlete hydration & washrooms – Athletes should bring a water bottle, preferably metal, to all workouts. Water stations are available at the TTFC for refilling – they are located in the front lobby area and track level.

Parent or Guardian Responsibilities:

    • Workout drop-off – please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes prior to workouts. This will provide athletes time to change, and warm-up as instructed by the Coaches.
    • Workout pick-up – it is the responsibility of Parents or Guardians to ensure that all athletes are picked-up on time based on the published workout schedule. Please be respectful of our Coach’s time – they are all volunteers. ABUSE OF THIS REQUEST COULD RESULT IN MEMBERSHIP SUSPENSION.

Workout organization – during workouts athletes are divided into multiple groups based on the evening’s training plan, number of athletes, and ages & abilities of the individual athletes.

Workout cancellations – the club’s process for cancelling workouts because of issues related to weather, coaching staff availability, venue availability and/or safety, is to communicate the cancellation a minimum of three (3) hours in advance by:

    • Events calendar – the workout will be updated in the event calendar showing the cancellation.
    • Twitter – a Tweet will be posed to the club’s Twitter account. Parents or Guardians should FOLLOW the club in order to receive posts automatically via email from Twitter (@YRRCCanada). Also, all Twitter posts are displayed on the club’s home page.

Alternatively, members can leave their personal belongings at track level where members meet for workouts – however do this at your own risk!

Jogging lane – When training at the TTFC the club uses the jogging lane for warm-ups and cool downs. The running direction for this lane varies based on the day of the week. A sign at the entrance to the track highlights the direction – for Monday’s Track & Wednesday’s Jumper workouts please run counter-clockwise, and for Thursday’s Track workout please run clockwise.
