Coaches

Our team of qualified running coaches have a diverse background in running and work with members to improve their form, technique, and speed.

AFF Coaches

Below are listed the current club coaches who are responsible for leading training sessions. Any of the coaches are willing to give advice on training schedules, running safety, and what to do if injured.

Training takes place on Tuesdays: there is one session starting promptly at 6.30pm. Training is at various locations around Flitwick and Ampthill - but usually starting from Flitwick Leisure Centre or Redborne School in Ampthill. During the late spring and summer the track at the school is used. Members are divided into 2 or 3 groups depending on ability, under the guidance of the above coaches.
