Blackmores Sydney Running Festival 2008
What happens at training:
The Wednesday Night and Tuesday Morning (daytime session) Coaching Workout will go for approximately 1.5 hr - 2hrs.
Each week the Workout will focus on a different area of preparation, such as conditioning, strength or endurance. At both venues, the workout will often be followed by a guest speaker talking about a relevant subject, such as injury prevention, nutrition, motivation, what it is like to experience cancer or the work of Cure Cancer Australia.
On Friday or Saturday morning you can look forward to the long distance runs. These guided weekly runs will progressively increase in distance. We will form smaller running groups within the team, so that you can run with people of similar experience and/or speed.
Throughout the remainder of the week you will be doing cross training and core strength work to make sure that you have what it takes to reach your goal. It’s that simple! Follow the program for the Run of Your Life!!
You will also have online access to the coaches who will be happy to answer your questions or concerns.
