Training Sessions
There are training runs most days from either the clubhouse or Walthamstow Pool and Track to cater for all members. As well as the times below, additional training runs are often arranged on an ad hoc basis each week so if you want to run at a different time – just ask!
‘For any newcomers, we are happy for you to join a training group for a couple of taster sessions to see if this is for you, after which we would kindly ask you to join Orion Harriers as a member here.
We use a handy (and free) app called ‘spond’ for everything club training and race related. Below are the Spond codes you will need for joining the weekly Orion training groups.
