Please keep within your pod at training sessions. Each pod uses:

• Separate meeting points (place to go to on entering the track/bag & water bottle drop off point)
• Separate warm up/stretches on specific lanes
• Separate lanes for the session

Pod A – using lanes 1,2,3 for warm up and session

Pod B – using lanes 6,7,8 for warm up and session

Pod C – if and when there is a need for Pod C, use lanes 4 & 5.

Once Pod A on inside lanes 1,2,3 move off the start line Pod C can move up from their meeting point to the same start line in lanes 4 and 5 and take off from there.

Pod C will be asked to make their way back to Pod C meeting point between intervals and wait for Pod A to move off the start line before again making their way up to start line where the coach is.

Please remember:

• To bring your own water bottle so as to avoid using the tap on the track.
• No spitting or clearing the nose in the presence of others.

We encourage you to fill out the form as early as you can on the day of a session to ensure you can join your preferred pod.
