In putting track and field at the forefront of physical training at St. Nicholas School, running and cardiovascular health will be of utmost importance.

Students are trained just like professional runners on a weekly basis every Wednesday afternoon at the city’s stadium.

The practice covers distance running from 50m, 100m, 200m, 500m, 1000m, 2000m and especially a 5000-meter marathon, as well as running in the forms of sprint, marathon and team relay.

Each student’s own athletic record of performance and achievement is kept and analyzed over a period of time.

Jumping at St. Nicholas School, like running, is trained in a professional manner every Wednesday by professional athletes.
