Welcome to Seven:Ten Combined Events

Creating the Decathletes & Heptathletes of the future!
Seven:Ten provide a focussed and inclusive training environment dedicated to developing and promoting performance and enjoyment in all Track & Field disciplines but with a specialist focus on Combined Events.

We deliver coaching to Decathletes & Heptathletes aged 13 and above, welcoming all levels and abilities into the group. 
All that we ask is that athletes are motivated, reliable, willing to learn and most importantly enjoy Combined Events! 
We have no official connection with any one individual club and therefore are able to welcome athletes from any club to join the group.

Squad Training
We offer a limited number of permanent places within our squad to ensure that each individual athlete is provided with the support and guidance they required to achieve their own personal goals. We also offer the opportunity for local Combined Event athletes to drop-in from time to time to receive the specialist Combined Events coaching that might not be available to them at their club.

John Garner - Coach


John experienced his first taste of International Athletics at the age of 16; competing for the Great Britain Junior Decathlon Team v Canada & Switzerland. Two years later he went on to become UK Junior Decathlon Champion. He spent a total of 10 years enjoying life as an International Decathlete and was fortunate enough to compete in athletics events all over the UK and around the world. He also enjoyed three seasons training & competing in Perth, Western Australia. He was an active member of Haringey AC and then Dacorum AC.

After injury forced him to retire from competitive athletics, John turned to coaching where he has enjoyed a great deal of success. Over the past 20+ years he has coached and mentored a number of athletes at International level (including Olympics & Commonwealth Games), as well as highly ranked athletes on The Power of 10. He currently coaches a group of young Decathletes & Heptathletes who compete at Club, County, Regional, National & International level. 

Outside of athletics, John has also been involved in developing the speed & agility of numerous professional sports people and has worked with Chelsea FC, Barnet FC, St Albans FC, Hemel Hempstead (Camelot) RUFC & St Albans HC as well as members of the GB Bobsleigh Team.
