If you’re new to running and are looking to get a bit quicker – maybe break a 5k or parkrun PB – then running on a track is a great way to focus on getting a bit faster. Team GB Olympian Andy Baddeley (who also happens to hold the parkrun world record, so knows a lot about this) has teamed up with The Running Channel to take you through a basic track session you can try yourself.

Thanks to the guys at LDN City Runners for having us along to their session for the evening.
