Victoria has experience as a Junior Athlete competing at National Level and is keen to pass on her positive experience of athletics and team spirit to the next generation. She became involved in the club when her daughter took up athletics and qualified as an Athletics Coach qualification in 2019. She is also the club Junior Development Officer and Cross Country Manager.

Jennie also became involved in coaching at LMAC when she moved to the area and her four (then) young children joined the club. She completed her Athletics Coach qualification in 2011 and her Event Group (Endurance) qualification in 2014. In 2019 she also qualified as a Fell Coach.

Both coaches are keen to extend their knowledge of Endurance Coaching and regularly attend Endurance workshops including those supporting the Steeplechase Event; which they also coach.

The Pioneer Group is open to all athletes aged 10-15 who are interested in competing in Endurance Events.
