What each week brings:
Each week we will work with participants on running techniques, breathing and endurance. We will incorporate timed running intervals, running for 3 mins walking for 1 min (as one example) for those who looking for more beginning running and work towards increasing each week.

Some members of the group may be more experienced than others – and that’s ok. These members will be given the course route and are free to run on their own with other members. No member will run alone however.

Not every participant will begin at the same stage. We’ll work in small groups – ensuring to match fitness levels – to help encourage and support each other to meeting your goals.

Each participant will be provided with the tools, techniques and a training plan , if they choose, to run in between sessions.

This is for anyone who can make it – it is not mandatory.

Race day – we can choose to attend the after party or head to the Queens Head Pub – which coincidentally the finish line of the race 🙂
