Additional 2-4 sessions a week will fit in with existing network groups. The coaches will arrange this with you individually so you are not restricted to a particular venue/day. You will be given a training programme with suggestions of the appropriate sessions to complete.

Transport

If you don’t have transport we will arrange this between those who do drive within the group so everyone gets to the correct venue for the Saturday long runs.

Week 1: Saturday 4th February

This will take the form of an introduction and welcome to the training group. Details of venues, routes etc will be explained and, hopefully, any questions you might have will be answered. This will be followed by a 6 mile run so don’t forget your running kit.

This marathon training group is designed to help provide the support and motivation of training with a group, along with an appropriate training programme and advice. There will be 2-3 coaches who will spread themselves between the front, middle and back of the group, however we would encourage you to run alongside others of a similar pace within the group for your safety, enjoyment and motivation.
