Welcome

Your week will begin on the Wednesday afternoon with an introduction from the Head Coach and Pastoral Team who will prepare you for the 3 days ahead.

A welcome meal will be prepared for you and our staff team will help you settle in to your accommodation after a series of icebreakers.

The Coaches

Our programme is led by UKA level 3 coach John Skevington.

With almost two decades as a coach, many years of which have been at national level, John is perfectly positioned to help particpants improve running technique and reduce the incidence of injuries.

The Programme

The programme is broken down into abilty and age group related sessions.

We use video analysis to look at the technique of all participants. Younger age groups will have a particular focus on technique; while more advanced runners will also focus on strength conditioning and race tactics.

Nutrition is a strong feature of the programme with guest speakers hosting workshops to talk about the importance this plays in training and competing.

Specialist Workshops

These include:

Guest appearance from an international athlete

Pre-hab How to prevent injuries

The Success Iceberg What it takes to become a successful runner

Running shoes What's best? A talk from a running shoe specialist. (And possibly a chance to win a new pair of shoes!)

Technology Help or hindrance?

Planning your year

Nutrition

We focus on pre and post event nutrition and a food guide to sit alongside training plans. We also have a guest speaker that comes into speak with children about the importance of the right food and drink.

Evenings
