Training in Hendon

A pool, a boxing club and football history.

Raich Carter Sports Centre, run by Everyone Active, is the heart of training in the East End: a 25 m six-lane pool, a 50-station gym, a studio and a sports hall. It's named after the England footballer born in Hendon, and stands partly on the site of the school where Sunderland AFC began. Sunderland East End ABC teaches amateur boxing, Sendai Kushiro Karate Club teaches karate, and Soccer Stars Academy runs children's football.

Hendon Beach lies between Hendon and Grangetown, so there's sand and sea air close by for a run that isn't on a treadmill. A partner for early lengths or the boxing gym makes the routine stick.
